England manager Thomas Tuchel has recalled Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Real Madrid’s Trent Alexander-Arnold to the national team after they were initially left out of the World Cup squad.

Story summary

England head coach Thomas Tuchel announced the squad for upcoming Nations League games, recalling Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold, both of whom were notably absent from the World Cup roster despite strong performances. Alexander-Arnold, 27, was included for the first time since June 2025 after being dropped by Tuchel earlier this year; Palmer, 24, returns to the squad having missed out on a spot in England’s World Cup lineup. The team will face world champions Spain, as well as Croatia and the Czech Republic in October.

Tuchel's decision has sparked some debate, with players like Phil Foden being left out again despite previous criticism surrounding Tuchel's choices for the World Cup squad. England achieved their best finish since 1966 by coming third at the tournament but faced backlash over Tuchel’s handling of the semifinal loss to Argentina, where they led until the 85th minute before losing 2-1.

The coach emphasized that while opportunities remain open for players like Alexander-Arnold and Palmer, their performance in upcoming matches will determine if they continue to be part of the national team setup.
