England Leaves Arsenal's Lewis-Skelly Out For Serbia Qualifier

Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly was left out of England's 23-man matchday squad for the World Cup qualifier against Serbia due to UEFA squad size limits and tactical rotation by manager Thomas Tuchel. Despite starting three of England's four qualifiers and playing the full match against Andorra, Lewis-Skelly was rested to manage his workload ahead of Arsenal's Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest. Tuchel emphasized that all players were fit and available, with the decision centered on rotation and strategic considerations rather than injury. The left-back cover for the Serbia game is likely to come from Tottenham's Djed Spence or Newcastle's Tino Livramento, while fellow Arsenal defender Ben White is hopeful to return from injury for the upcoming club match. England, leading their qualifying group, face a challenging test against Serbia, with Tuchel anticipating a high-quality and intense encounter. Lewis-Skelly remains highly regarded within the England setup and is expected to continue playing a role in the qualification campaign.
