Forest midfielder earns first England cap
Anderson completes 90 minutes at Villa Park
Gibbs-White rose from the bench in the second half
Elliot Anderson made his Senior England debut this evening as the Three Lions overcame Andorra in a FIFA World Cup qualifier at Villa Park.
The Nottingham Forest midfielder earned his maiden call to the senior side following an outstanding Euro Championships in the summer for the Under-21s, and a fine start to the 2025/26 campaign in the Garibaldi.
Anderson was named in the starting XI in the second city, completing the full 90 minutes and putting in a performance regulars at the City Ground are only too familiar with since he moved to NG2 in the summer of 2024.

An own goal in the first period from Christian González set Thomas Tuchel’s side on their way before Declan Rice doubled the advantage on 67 minutes to secure the three points for the Three Lions.
With 12 minutes remaining at Villa Park, Forest teammate Morgan Gibbs-White rose from the substitutes’ bench to give the middle of the park a very Forest feeling.
England are next in action on Tuesday when the Three Lions travel to Serbia in their second World Cup qualifier, where the Forest duo could come up against Nikola Milenković.
The Forest defender started for Eagles in their 1-0 away win against Latvia this afternoon.
