England head coach Thomas Tuchel has named his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania. With England already qualified for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico after winning all six qualifiers so far, Tuchel is refreshing his roster for these matches.
Among the new faces is 22-year-old Alex Scott from Bournemouth. Scott has impressed this Premier League season, appearing in nine of Bournemouth’s ten matches and scoring in their game against Brighton. His efforts have helped Bournemouth reach the top five early in the campaign.

Scott’s rise follows his strong performances with the England U21 team, where he featured in almost every match during their successful European Championship campaign, which ended with a victory over Germany. He has also played for England’s U20, U19, and U18 squads.
Jude Bellingham returns to the senior squad after recovering from shoulder surgery. He has shown good form, scoring in his last two La Liga matches, including El Clasico.
Myles Lewis-Skelly has also been included in the squad.
