England Back in Action at Villa Park
England return to action for the first time since their 3-1 defeat to Senegal as Thomas Tuchel’s side continue their World Cup qualifying campaign against Andorra.
The Three Lions remain unbeaten in Group K, having beaten Albania (2-0), Latvia (3-0) and Andorra (1-0) earlier this year. They currently sit top of the group but pressure is on Tuchel to deliver a response after June’s disappointing friendly loss in Dakar.
Team News
Tuchel has made some surprise selections for this one:
- Djed Spence receives his first England call-up.
- Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Jarrell Quansah drafted in as late replacements.
- Adam Wharton withdrew through injury.
- Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer remain sidelined.
That means England could line up with a more experimental XI at Villa Park, with fringe players given opportunities to impress.

Analyst Verdict
FootballPlace analyst John William says tonight’s game is about building momentum:
“England can’t afford a slip here. Andorra are well-drilled, but Tuchel has to use this as both a qualifier and a testbed for new players. The absence of Bellingham, Saka and Palmer is huge — but it’s also a chance for others to stake their claim.”
