Thomas Tuchel Excludes Jack Grealish From England Squad Amid Premier League Success

England boss Thomas Tuchel has made a surprise call for the October internationals by omitting big names Jack Grealish, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden from the squad for a Wembley friendly with Wales and a mid‑October World Cup qualifier in Latvia. Grealish has enjoyed a resurgence on loan at Everton — winning August player of the month and registering four assists in six Premier League games — but has still not featured under Tuchel despite David Moyes saying the winger is close to an England recall and urging more goals and creativity from him. The squad includes returns for fit‑again Bukayo Saka and John Stones, while Cole Palmer is sidelined by a groin problem and Noni Madueke and Tino Livramento remain unavailable. Media reaction is mixed, with some outlets urging Tuchel to experiment and blood youngsters, and others noting notable omissions such as Adam Wharton; meanwhile Moyes revealed the PGMOL accepted two of Kiernan Dewsbury‑Hall’s recent yellow cards were incorrect, though the midfielder is suspended after reaching five bookings. Grealish’s exclusion has fuelled debate about selection priorities as England prepare for the friendly and qualifier next month.
