Thomas Tuchel has announced the England squad.
Thomas Tuchel has named his latest England squad for the upcoming international break. The Three Lions are set to face their neighbors Wales in a friendly match at Wembley on October 9, followed by a World Cup Qualifier against Latvia in Riga on October 14. Currently at the top of their group, England has won all five of their initial qualifiers. Bukayo Saka returns to the squad after sitting out the September internationals due to injury, though Jude Bellingham is still not included. Marcus Rashford makes a comeback, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a surprise addition. So, who are the most valuable players absent from the latest squad? By analyzing Transfermarkt’s market values, we’ve identified the high-profile players who are fit and available but not selected by Tuchel this time.
Key Players Excluded from the Latest England Squad
The most valuable player that Tuchel opted not to call up is Jude Bellingham, whose market value stands at €180 million. Although the talented midfielder is fit and available after returning to Real Madrid, his exclusion is likely a result of him recently regaining fitness. In contrast, Manchester City’s Phil Foden (€100 million) misses out on the squad once again, having also been omitted last month.
Another notable omission is Arsenal’s young talent Ethan Nwaneri, valued at €55 million, who has yet to receive his first senior squad call-up. Additionally, Kobbie Mainoo (€50 million), who has fallen out of favor at Manchester United under Rúben Amorim, is also left out. Chelsea’s new winger Jamie Gittens, valued at €50 million as well, has yet to earn his first full England cap.
