Thomas Tuchel has surprisingly axed Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly from the England squad that will face Serbia on Tuesday. Lewis-Skelly played the full 90 minutes of England's World Cup qualifying clash with Andorra on Saturday as Tuchel's side ground out an unconvincing 2-0 victory.

Former Liverpool star Jarell Quansah was left out of the Three Lions' win over Andorra on Saturday, but the centre-back has returned to the squad at the expense of Lewis-Skelly. The left-back's omission from the squad now means that Tuchel could hand Tottenham's Djed Spence his England debut, while Newcastle's Tino Livramento is also an option in that role.
