Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden are back in the England squad for this international break, while a Bournemouth star has been given his first call-up.
The final international break of 2025 starts next week as England, who have already qualified for next summer’s World Cup, have their final qualifiers against Serbia (home, November 13) and Albania (away, November 16).
England head coach Thomas Tuchel has not been afraid to make bold decisions when selecting his previous squads as he notably left Bellingham out of last month’s squad following his return from injury.
However, Bellingham has impressed for Real Madrid in their recent matches, so it’s hardly a surprise that he is back in the England squad for this month’s international break.
Tuchel has also recalled Manchester City star Phil Foden, who joins the squad by replacing Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Myles Lewis-Skelly are other notable absentees who have been omitted after featuring for The Three Lions last month.
The England boss has also called up Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton, while Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has been awarded his first call-up.
The full England squad for November’s international break is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Henderson, Pickford, Pope.
Defenders: Burn, Guehi, James, Konsa, O’Reilly, Quansah, Spence, Stones.
Midfielders: Anderson, Bellingham, Henderson, Rice, Rogers, Scott, Wharton.
Forwards: Bowen, Eze, Foden, Gordon, Kane, Rashford, Saka.
