England head coach Thomas Tuchel has left Morgan Gibbs-White, Jarrell Quansah and Aaron Ramsdale out of his matchday squad for Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Albania at Wembley.
Nottingham Forest midfielder Gibbs-White was not included by Tuchel’s original squad but was called up when Chelsea’s Cole Palmer pulled out.
Uefa rules state that a manager can only select 23 players in his squad for a fixture.
Tuchel selected 26 players for the games versus Albania and Latvia, meaning he had to cut three for each game.
Gibbs-White, Liverpool defender Quansah and Southampton goalkeeper Ramsdale are the three to have missed out for Tuchel’s first match in charge.
Harry Kane will captain the side, while Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice are expected to start in midfield.
Phil Foden, Morgan Rogers and Anthony Gordon all pushing to play alongside Kane in attack.
