The Three Lions Recall Saka But Bellingham, Foden & Jack Grealish Are Omitted

England have called up the Arsenal winger for upcoming fixtures against Latvia and Wales, yet there's no spot for Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden or Jack Grealish.

Gunners attacker Bukayo Saka was absent from the previous World Cup qualifying successes against Serbia and Andorra with a hamstring injury.

The 24-year-old made a comeback for Arsenal and scored in their victory over the Greek side on Wednesday.

Saka replaces club colleague Madueke, who is out of action until November with a knee injury.

The Three Lions face the Welsh in a friendly at the national stadium on Thursday before a qualifying match in Riga on October 14.

If England win in Latvia, they will require a just two more points from their final two matches versus Serbia and Albania in the next month to reach next summer's tournament in North America.

Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah replaces Newcastle United’s Livramento, who is out for up to eight weeks after sustaining a knee issue versus Arsenal recently.

Anderson and Djed Spence, who received their maiden national team selections previously, retain their places. Loftus-Cheek also keeps his spot, even with the recovery of Wharton.

The attacker has featured in just a single match for the manager since he became national team boss, due to fitness and hamstring injuries.

The midfielder was absent from the last England international camp as he was rehabilitating after shoulder surgery and has only made one start for his club after coming back from injury.

The Manchester City player was omitted from the coach’s last England squad following a loss of form and has been unsuccessful in returning, even with a strong start to the campaign with Manchester City.

Grealish also misses out despite a revival in form with Everton. He has not played for the national team since last year.

Keepers: Henderson (Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), James Trafford (Manchester City)

Defenders: Dan Burn (Newcastle United), Guehi (Palace), James (the Blues), Ezri Konsa (Villa), Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal), Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen), Spence (Tottenham Hotspur), John Stones (Manchester City)

Midfield: Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest), Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest), Jordan Henderson (the Bees), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Milan), Declan Rice (the Gunners), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)

Forwards: Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United), Eberechi Eze (Arsenal), Gordon (Newcastle United), Kane (Bayern Munich), Rashford (Barca), Saka (Arsenal), Ollie Watkins (Villa)

Thomas Tuchel's new selection draws attention to the players the boss has omitted instead of the players he has selected.

Bellingham’s exclusion may raise some eyebrows but Tuchel believes there is no rush to bring back the Madrid midfielder.

City’s Foden and loanee Grealish have both excelled at the start of the season.

The players the manager used in England's World Cup qualifier wins against Serbia and Andorra deserve the reward of continuity.

There will be regret that Arsenal's Noni Madueke is not included due to a fitness issue.

The Forest player has settled well at England senior level.

Tuchel is a admirer of the attacker, in particular, and also the City star.

If there is one surprise, it comes in the absence of Palace’s Wharton.

Bellingham, of course, will be needed in the future.
