England manager, Thomas Tuchel, has recalled Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden to his squad for next week’s World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania, while Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has been called up to the senior squad for the first time.
Tuchel has resisted calls to include Brighton striker Danny Welbeck, while attacking midfielder Jack Grealish, who is on loan at Everton from Manchester City, and right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold miss out.
Alexander-Arnold’s Real Madrid team-mate Bellingham was left out of Tuchel’s squad for games in October, when the 22-year-old had just returned from shoulder surgery.
Manchester City playmaker Foden had not been selected in the past three England squads, with his last international appearance in March against Latvia.
Scott, 22, was part of the England side that won the European Under-21 Championship in the summer.
Tuchel will discuss his latest squad at a news conference being held at 11:00 GMT on Friday.
England qualified for the 2026 World Cup by thrashing Latvia in October and will host Serbia on Thursday, 13 November before travelling to Albania three days later in their final Group K game.
The two fixtures will be their final competitive outings prior to next summer’s World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
