Thomas Tuchel has named his first England squad of the season, with plenty of discussion points coming from the team as usual.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Three Lions will play two World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia next week during the season’s first international break.<\/p>\n

England are short favourites to win both of their qualifiers with UK betting sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elliot Anderson has earned a first call-up to the team after impressing for Nottingham Forest and the under-21’s. Tottenham’s Djed Spence was also called up to the senior team for the first time.<\/p>\n

Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson were arguably the most surprising inclusions in Tuchel’s squad for the qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold were all shock omissions from the squad, although three of the four stars are carrying injuries.<\/p>\n
