"PFA Young Player of the Year nominee Lewis-Skelly scored on his England debut in manager Thomas Tuchel's first game against Albania at Wembley Stadium in March as part of a remarkable rise for the 18-year-old. Lewis-Skelly's selection as Tuchel's starting left-back for the qualifier against Andorra was something of a surprise for a player who has featured for 44 minutes in the Gunners' first three matches of the Premier League season, remaining an unused substitute in their defeat at Liverpool on August 31."
"Serbia's standing of 32nd in Fifa's ranking makes the trip to Belgrade by far the trickiest test Tuchel's side are likely to face in qualifying, but the German's most orthodox options at left-back have even less experience as starters than Lewis-Skelly. Newcastle's Tino Livramento, 22, has come on as a substitute seven times among eight senior international appearances, while Tottenham's Djed Spence is three years older but is in the squad for the first time, making his debut from the bench against Andorra."
Myles Lewis-Skelly was omitted from England's matchday squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifier in Serbia despite playing 90 minutes against Andorra. He scored on his England debut in Thomas Tuchel's first game against Albania and is a PFA Young Player of the Year nominee. His start at left-back against Andorra was unexpected given only 44 Premier League minutes across Arsenal's first three matches and an unused substitute appearance at Liverpool. Serbia, ranked 32nd by Fifa, presents a difficult away test. Other left-back options in the squad have even less starting experience. Lewis-Skelly signed professionally at 17 and has made notable early club appearances and goals for Arsenal.
