James Garner - England

Jordan Pickford, James Garner and Jarrad Branthwaite have all retained their place in Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad.

Tuchel has named his squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain this month, with Everton again well-represented.

Pickford will aim to see off competition from James Trafford to hold onto the number one position, as the 32-year-old looks to add to his 93 caps. The goalkeeper is currently 13th for all-time England appearances, and will overtake John Stones if he features in both games.

Jarrad Branthwaite is also back involved. The 24-year-old ended a three-year wait between England caps during the last break, and has done enough to convince Tuchel that he deserves another opportunity. James Garner is also included, in a squad that features first-time inclusions for Fulham teenager Josh King and Borussia Dortmund’s Jobe Bellingham.

There’s no place for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, despite calls from James Tarkowski and David Moyes for a maiden call.
