England manager Thomas Tuchel has added two new players to the November squad following injuries to Anthony Gordon and Nick Pope ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers. Gordon, who missed Newcastle’s recent Premier League match against Brentford, and Pope, forced off during the second half, will be unavailable for the upcoming fixtures against Serbia and Albania.
Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi remains a major doubt for both matches, though he has reported to the England camp. The squad now includes newcomers James Trafford and Trevoh Chalobah, who are expected to bolster the team amid the injury concerns. England faces Serbia in a pivotal World Cup qualifying match before traveling to Albania, with the team aiming to maintain their strong position in the UEFA qualification group.
The adjustments reflect England’s depth and the manager’s commitment to ensuring readiness despite last-minute setbacks, highlighting the importance of adaptability in the lead-up to the World Cup.
