Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Thursday that Cole Palmer is set to be recalled to Thomas Tuchel’s England squad and that the manager will name the official list on Friday at 10am.
- TalkSPORT and Football365 say two uncapped players — Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott and Coventry goalkeeper Carl Rushworth — are in contention for first senior call-ups.
- Dean Henderson’s foot injury has created a vacancy among the goalkeepers and raised the chance of Rushworth joining Jordan Pickford and James Trafford in the squad.
- Palmer’s recall push is driven by his strong start to the season, with sources noting four goals and two assists that have rekindled arguments for his inclusion after his World Cup omission.
- Tuchel is also reported to be assessing several young or fringe options such as Marcus Tavernier, Jobe Bellingham, Jack Hinshelwood and others as he reshapes the squad for four Nations League matches starting later this month.
