Anthony Gordon and Nick Pope have withdrawn from England’s squad, with Trevoh Chalobah and James Trafford coming in.
Newcastle United duo Gordon and Pope have pulled out due to injury and concussion, respectively.
Centre-back Marc Guehi, who missed Crystal Palace’s draw on Sunday due to injury, has joined up with the team but will be assessed ahead of England’s clash with Serbia on Thursday.
Manchester City goalkeeper Trafford had been included in Thomas Tuchel’s first few squads but was not initially not called up for the fixtures against Serbia and Albania, while Chalobah, who has one senior cap to his name, has seemingly come in as cover for Guehi.
No additional forward has been called up in Gordon’s place.
England have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, becoming the first European team to do so.
An update from #ThreeLions camp, as @TrevohChalobah and James Trafford have been added to Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
