Head coach of England‘s Three Lions Thomas Tuchel has released a 24-man squad list for his side’s clash against Andorra and Serbia, Soccernet.ng reports.

The former Borussia Dortmund gaffer was appointed as England’s boss in January and has overseen four games in charge, winning three.

The Three Lions are currently top of their World Cup qualifying group with nine points from three games and will be hoping to maintain a 100% record at the end of the International break.

The 52-year-old coach included squad regulars like John Stones, Jordan Pickford, Declan Rice, Ollie Watkins and captain Harry Kane.

The only notable exclusions from Tuchel’s 24-man squad were Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham, who are in recovery from their muscular and shoulder injuries, respectively.

Tosin‘s absence is a big boost for the Super Eagles

Another name that was omitted from Thomas Tuchel’s squad list was Chelsea’s defender, Tosin Adarabioyo. The 27-year-old is eligible to represent Nigeria and England, but has yet to receive a senior call-up to any of these teams.

The former Manchester City defender visited Nigeria after winning the Club World Cup with Chelsea in America last month.

In his time in the country, the lanky defender mentioned he’ll decide which country to represent in his International Career soon, mentioning he never turned Nigeria down.

“It’s something I think about seriously. But hopefully, in the nearest future I’ll make a decision,” Adarabioyo said on Arise TV.

“It’s something that has been the topic for many years since I’ve become a professional footballer, but then we’ll see.

“Everything comes into consideration, you have to look at it and make the best decision.”

Meanwhile, he has never been a frontrunner for an England call-up. But now that he has shone for Chelsea, there is a good chance he might get called up soon.

Recall that recently, Adarabioyo said that the 2026 World Cup would play a big part in his decision-making.

His exclusion from another World Cup qualifier for England now reduces Tosin’s chances of playing for the one-time FIFA World Cup winners, hinting a Super Eagles switch might be closing in.
