England boss Thomas Tuchel has axed three players from his squad to face Albania on Friday evening in Wembley.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has made his first major decisions since taking the reins, cutting three players from his matchday squad for tonight's World Cup qualifier against Albania.

Morgan Gibbs-White, Jarell Quansah, and Aaron Ramsdale have been omitted from the 26-man squad, as Tuchel looks to start his tenure with a win. The German tactician has trimmed his squad to size, selecting a strong lineup for the crucial match.

All other players from last week's squad announcement are in line to play, including surprise selection Jordan Henderson.
