"Tottenham full-back Djed Spence and Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson have received their first senior England call-ups in Thomas Tuchel's squad for the Three Lions' World Cup qualifiers in September. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who left Liverpool for Real Madrid in the summer, has been left out after featuring in Tuchel's previous squad. Alexander-Arnold was not in the starting line-up for Madrid's 3-0 LaLiga win at Real Oviedo on Sunday. England host Andorra at Villa Park on September 6 and visit Serbia three days later."
"Anderson joined Newcastle's youth set-up in 2010, making his debut in an FA Cup defeat to Arsenal as an 18-year-old in January 2021 and receiving his Premier League bow in a loss to the same opponents later that month. A productive loan spell to Bristol Rovers in 2021/22 ended in promotion from League Two, and Anderson made 27 appearances for Newcastle the following season, starting each of their final three league games."
