England suffered a heavy defeat to Senegal in June, leaving head coach Thomas Tuchel and his players under intense fan criticism and prompting questions about the team's trajectory under his leadership. Tuchel must name a squad for September World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia while managing injuries to key starters Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham, and the sidelining of Cole Palmer. Potential replacements include Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, Morgan Gibbs-White and Morgan Rogers. Phil Foden remains unlikely for recall after limited club minutes. Jack Grealish's strong Everton start drew attention from assistant Anthony Barry, and Mason Mount retains hopes of revival.
Thomas Tuchel's last England game in June ended with the head coach and his players coming under heavy fire from angry fans after they were well beaten by Senegal at Nottingham Forest's City Ground. It was not how it was meant to be when the German with the stellar reputation succeeded Sir Gareth Southgate, and England now looking like they have gone backwards under Tuchel's leadership.
England have lost two guaranteed starters, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham from Real Madrid, to injury, while Chelsea's Cole Palmer is another prime contender who is currently sidelined. Saka's absence could bring two of his new Arsenal colleagues, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke, into the frame, while Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White and Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers will also hope this pushes them further up the pecking order.
