Trafford added to England squad for November internationals | OneFootball

James Trafford has been drafted in to England's squad for this month's World Cup qualifiers.

The 23-year-old goalkeeper takes the place of Newcastle man Nick Pope, who was forced to withdraw after suffering concussion in their weekend defeat to Brentford.

Although he is yet to make his debut, Trafford has been part of squads previously under England manager Thomas Tuchel.

Since returning to City this summer, he has played five times across the Premier League and Carabao Cup conceding just twice.

Trafford joins City team-mates Phil Foden, John Stones and Nico O'Reilly in the squad to take on both Serbia and Albania.

England have already cemented their spot at the 2026 World Cup after winning all six of their qualifying matches to date, racking up a total of 18 points and are yet to concede a goal during the qualifying games.

We’ll have match reports on mancity.com and our official app shortly after each game, as well as every international game including a member of Pep Guardiola’s squad.
