Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze have all been called up to the latest England squad for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Serbia and Albania this month.
Our Gunners will join up with their national team this week, with England already qualified for this summer’s tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada.
Since taking over, Thomas Tuchel has a 100% winning record in competitive matches and is yet to see his side concede a goal.
England will look to continue their impressive World Cup Qualifying record when they host Serbia at Wembley on Thursday, November 13, before travelling to Albania on Sunday, November 16 for the final qualifier of the group.
While the matches will not affect the Three Lions’ path to the World Cup, they are hugely significant for their opponents, with Albania just one point ahead of Serbia in second place in Group K, which offers a qualifying play-off spot.
In last month’s international break, Bukayo and Ebere found the net for their country; Bukayo scored a spectacular goal in England’s 3-0 friendly win over Wales before Ebere rounded off the 5-0 qualifying win over Latvia.
Declan started both games in the October window, taking his total of senior caps for his country to 70 since his debut in 2019.
