**Thomas Tuchel has announced his England squad for this month's international break, which will see the Three Lions take on Serbia at home and Albania away in the World Cup Qualifiers, with their place in next year's competition already booked.**
Three Newcastle United players have been summoned by the German coach, with two hopefuls left behind due to injury.
Dan Burn and Anthony Gordon both retain their place in the England squad, although we'll have to keep an eye on whether or not Anthony Gordon actually makes it, given his latest injury concerns.
Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall have been left out once again, as the former is still out injured and the latter is just making his way back after a long layoff.

Nick Pope has earned a recall to the England squad
--------------------------------------------------
Nick Pope has been recalled to the squad after his fine form this season (we'll ignore the West Ham game).
Pope had recently revealed that he'd been speaking with Tuchel since he took over the role at the turn of the year and was aware that he was still in contention.
Of course, Jordan Pickford is the first-choice for England and is likely to play both games, but as long as Pope can continue to do the business for Newcastle and impresses Tuchel at the upcoming camps, there's no reason he can't be on that plane next year.
Newcastle could have five players in England's World Cup squad
--------------------------------------------------------------
As things are looking right now, Newcastle could potentially have five players in the England squad for the World Cup next summer, which would be outstanding.
Would we be too greedy to suggest six if Jacob Ramsey gets a good run in the side and impresses? Probably.
Dan Burn has booked his place in the World Cup squad with his goal on Wednesday. How can you leave him out of the national team when he can do that? You just can't!
