Tuchel recalls Alexander-Arnold and Palmer to England squad

Alexander-Arnold is selected for the first time since June 2025 after a positive start at Real Madrid, while Palmer returns after missing England's World Cup run. Tuchel also called young players including Rio Ngumoha and uncapped Alex Scott, and gave a first Tuchel-era call-up to Jarrad Branthwaite. Notable omissions include Phil Foden and several World Cup squad members. England meet Spain, the Czech Republic and Croatia in late September and early October.
