Schedule of the last matches

England, which secured its qualification for next year’s big tournament with two games to spare, will finish its schedule in Group K against Serbia at Wembley on Thursday, and will travel to Albania three days later.

Bellingham’s situation and Foden’s return

Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham was not called up by coach Thomas Tuchel for the October matches, as the 22-year-old player had just returned from shoulder surgery. Manchester City forward Foden returns to an England squad for the first time since March.

Among the new additions, Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is the most notable inclusion in the 25-man squad, with Nico O’Reilly and Jarell Quansah as other debutants with no international experience.

Tuchel chose not to call up midfielder Jack Grealish, who is on loan at Everton from Manchester City. Also left out was Real Madrid right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.
