AC Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is set to be called up to the England squad for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia. The PA news agency report that Loftus-Cheek is expected to join Thomas Tuchel's group for the double-header after Adam Wharton suffered a groin injury in Crystal Palace's 3-0 win at Aston Villa on Sunday. The 29-year-old returns to the England fold for the first time in six years, with his last call-up coming in March 2019.

Tottenham full-back Djed Spence and Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson have received their first senior England call-ups in Thomas Tuchel's squad for the Three Lions' World Cup qualifiers in September. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who left Liverpool for Real Madrid in the summer, has been left out after featuring in Tuchel's previous squad. Alexander-Arnold was not in the starting line-up for Madrid's 3-0 LaLiga win at Real Oviedo on Sunday. England host Andorra at Villa Park on September 6 and visit Serbia three days later.

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins will miss England's upcoming matches against Andorra and Senegal due to a minor injury, with no replacement being called up.

Ivan Toney, recalled to the England squad after stellar performance at Al-Ahli, seeks to re-establish his position following previous absence due to coach's decision.
