Bournemouth Man Earns Maiden England Call-Up After Another Withdrawal For Nations League Games

Thomas Tuchel has handed a first senior England call-up to Bournemouth defender James Hill.

The 24-year-old has been added to the squad following the withdrawal of Arsenal’s Ezri Konsa, after he was ruled out owing to a knee injury.

Hill has been part of a Cherries side that are on a superb run, stringing together eight consecutive wins across all competitions.

He has previously played for England’s under-21s and under-20s but this represents the first time he will experience the senior squad, as they prepare to conclude their Nations League campaign.

Tuchel’s side host Croatia at Wembley on Thursday before travelling to Madrid on Sunday to face Spain.

Konsa’s withdrawal follows hot on the heels of Manchester City’s Marc Guehi dropping out, also through injury. He was replaced by Newcastle’s Dan Burn for the double-header.

Revised England squad:

Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Jason Steele (Brighton & Hove Albion), James Trafford (Leeds United)

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Real Madrid), Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Dan Burn (Newcastle United), Lewis Hall (Newcastle United), James Hill (Bournemouth), Jarell Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen), Djed Spence (Inter Milan), Ben White (Arsenal)

Midfielders: Elliot Anderson (Manchester City), Jobe Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), James Garner (Everton), Josh King (Fulham), Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal), Declan Rice (Arsenal)

Forwards: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United), Eberechi Eze (Arsenal), Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest), Anthony Gordon (Barcelona), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Rio Ngumoha (Liverpool), Morgan Rogers (Chelsea).
