Thomas Tuchel now losing at least three of his England squad due to injury

Thomas Tuchel named his latest England squad on Friday.

His first selection since the 2026 World Cup finals.

This latest England squad is for the September and October 2026 internationals.

Four Nations League matches during this international break.

However, news now that Thomas Tuchel is set to lose at least three of this latest England squad due to injury.

David Ornstein of The Athletic states that Cole Palmer is withdrawing from the September/October squad, Palmer played on Friday night when Brentford hammered Chelsea 3-0.

Ornstein adding that Man U pair Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford are also expected to withdraw due to injuries picked up during Man U’s very fortunate draw against Fulham yesterday.

England have a match against World Cup winners Spain, a 7.45pm kick-off at Wembley on Saturday 26 September.

Then for Thomas Tuchel and his players it is the Czech Republic v England on Tuesday 29 September, with a 7.45pm kick-off. Followed by Croatia v England at 5pm on Saturday 3 October. Finally, it is England v Czech Republic at 7.45pm on Tuesday 6 October.
