Morgan Gibbs-White will be called up for the England team for your next arrival UEFA Nations League games as a replacement for the injured Cole Palmer.
Both Palmer and Gibbs-White missed out on the England squad for this summer’s World Cup, in which the Three Lions finished third after a dramatic semi-final defeat to Argentina.
Chelsea striker Palmer was chosen by Thomas Tuchel as England begin their Nations League campaign with four games in the course of a long international break. Tuchel said Palmer, who has four goals and two assists for the Blues so far this season, needed to “justify the nomination”.
But a minor injury looks set to prevent him from doing so, with Nottingham Forest star Gibbs-White set to take his place, according to multiple reports.
Gibbs-White, who has one goal and two assists for Forest this season, last played for England in a friendly against Wales last October.
The 26-year-old has never started for England, with his six trophies all coming as a substitute.
Manchester United pair Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo are also expected to be left out of the squad, with both players being assessed after coming off in the closing stages of the Red Devils’ 1-1 draw with Fulham on Sunday.
England take on world champions Spain in their opening Nations League game at Wembley on Saturday.
This international window will also see Tuchel’s men face the Czech Republic twice, either side of a trip to Rijeka to face familiar foes Croatia.
