Decisions taken on Leeds United men after injury news as Thomas Tuchel names England squad

Thomas Tuchel has named his England squad for November’s Nations League games.

England boss Thomas Tuchel has taken fresh decisions on Leeds United men in naming his Three Lions squad for November’s Nations League games.

Whites no 9 Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s fine start to the new season earned the striker another England recall for the four Nations League games during the new extended September and October international break, Calvert-Lewin joining new Leeds keeper James Trafford in the squad.

Trafford, the club’s new record signing, was then given starts for the first two games of the break against Spain and Czechia before Everton’s Jordan Pickford took his place back between the sticks for the matches against Croatia and second clash against Czechia.

Tuchel had declared towards the start of the break that he wanted to see both keepers in action and Trafford kept a clean sheet in the second of his outings as England recorded a 2-0 win in Czechia after the 3-2 loss at home to Spain.

Calvert-Lewin, though, was given very little game time, the striker getting seven minutes from the bench against Spain and another eight minutes as a late substitute in the final match against Czechia.

The Whites no 9 had been an unused substitute for the games against Croatia and Czechia in between,

Calvert-Lewin has since had slight struggles with a foot injury, Whites boss Daniel Farke revealing at this week’s pre-Tottenham press conference that the striker had not trained on Thursday but that he was cautiously optimistic of a return to training the following day.

Saturday’s visit of Spurs marks the last game before the November international break, in which England face two more Nations League games as a home clash against Croatia is followed by a trip to Spain.

Tuchel named his squad for the matches at 10am on Friday morning and both Calvert-Lewin and Trafford were named in his squad but there was again no place for Jayden Bogle.

Whites right back Bogle was not named in Tuhcel’s squad for the September and October games, despite his impressive start to the season that saw him nominated for the September Premier League player of the month award.
