England Bring Back Bukayo Saka While Bellingham, Phil Foden & Grealish Are Omitted

The national side have called up Bukayo Saka for upcoming fixtures against Latvia and Wales, however no room for Bellingham, Foden or Grealish.

Arsenal forward Saka was absent from the previous World Cup qualifying successes over Serbia and Andorra with a hamstring injury.

Saka made a comeback for Arsenal and scored in their victory over Olympiacos on Wednesday.

The England international replaces club colleague Noni Madueke, who is out of action till next month because of a knee injury.

England meet the Welsh in a warm-up match at the national stadium this week prior to a qualifying match in Latvia on 14 October.

If England win in Latvia, they will need a just two points from their final two qualifiers against Albania and Serbia in the next month to reach next summer's tournament in North America.

Bayer Leverkusen defender Quansah comes in for Newcastle's Livramento, who is sidelined for two months following suffering a knee issue against Arsenal recently.

Anderson and Djed Spence, who earned their maiden national team selections previously, keep their spots. Loftus-Cheek also remains in the squad, even with the recovery of Adam Wharton.

The attacker has only played one game for the manager since he became England manager, due to fitness and hamstring injuries.

The midfielder was absent from the last England international camp as he was rehabilitating after shoulder surgery and has managed just a single start for his club since returning to fitness.

Foden was omitted from Tuchel's previous selection after a loss of form and has been unable to force his way back, despite a strong start to the campaign with City.

The forward also misses out in spite of a resurgence with Everton. He has not featured for the national team since last year.

Goalkeepers: Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (the Toffees), Trafford (Manchester City)

Backline: Burn (Newcastle United), Guehi (Palace), James (Chelsea), Ezri Konsa (Villa), Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal), Quansah (Leverkusen), Spence (Tottenham Hotspur), Stones (City)

Midfield: Anderson (Nottingham Forest), Morgan Gibbs-White (Forest), Henderson (the Bees), Loftus-Cheek (AC Milan), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Morgan Rogers (Villa)

Attackers: Bowen (West Ham United), Eberechi Eze (Arsenal), Gordon (Newcastle United), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Rashford (Barca), Bukayo Saka (the Gunners), Watkins (Villa)

The manager’s latest England squad brings scrutiny to the players the head coach has left out rather than the players he has selected.

Jude Bellingham's omission may cause surprise but Tuchel understandably feels there is no rush to bring back the Real Madrid star.

Manchester City's Foden and on-loan Everton forward Grealish have both performed well in the early stages of the season.

The players the manager used in the team’s World Cup qualifier wins versus Serbia and Andorra deserve the reward of continuity.

It will bring disappointment that the Gunners’ Madueke is not involved due to injury.

The Forest player has looked right at home at England senior level.

Tuchel is a fan of the attacker, especially, as well as the City star.

One unexpected move, it is the exclusion of Crystal Palace midfielder Wharton.

Bellingham, of course, will be required in the future.
