Who could be the next England debutant and who are the potential recalls?

Tuchel faces squad selection decisions for England's final Nations League games against Croatia and Spain, with potential debuts for King, Lankshear and Dewsbury-Hall among the contenders.

England are preparing for their final Nations League fixtures of the year against Croatia at home and Spain away, with Thomas Tuchel set to make significant squad decisions. After a 7-0 demolition of Croatia in their last outing, the Three Lions are nearly assured of knockout stage qualification and could secure top spot before the March quarter-finals.

With established stars like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice as automatic selections, Tuchel has several spots remaining to fill. The article examines potential debutants and recalls: Fulham's 19-year-old midfielder Ethan King, who has impressed for the under-21s and was close to a call-up; Middlesbrough striker Dane Lankshear, 21, who has scored 13 Championship goals this season despite not being in the Premier League; and Everton's Matheus Nunes, 28, an accomplished technician who has turned down Republic of Ireland call-ups to pursue England selection. Lankshear recently suffered a minor hamstring issue but could be available for Middlesbrough's weekend fixture. The article also notes Morgan Gibbs-White as an unlucky omission from Tuchel's initial squad in September.
