Morgan Gibbs-White, Jarrel Quansah and Aaron Ramsdale remained from England tonight to face Albania tonight.
Thomas Tuchel took over his first game of England tonight at Wembley, and one of his first tasks was to leave the trio out.
UEFA rules stipulate that only 23 players can be selected for fixing, and the new England chief has appointed 26 in his first team.
The Nottingham Forest Gibbs-White midfielder was a late call to three lions of fold after being drawn to cover for the injured Cole Palmer.
Both Liverpool Defender Quansah and Southampton Ramsdale goalkeeper were included in Tuchel’s original choice, but none will play a role in the qualifying opener in the English World Cup.
The BBC reports that Harry Kane will tonight captain at Wembley with Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham, who expected to start.
All eyes will be on who the Kane’s partners are in Attack, and Phil Foden, Morgan Rogers and Anthony Gordon all advocated to begin with.
Quansah’s omission should see that Marc Guehi and Ezri Kons were selected in the central defense, and Reece James competed with Tino Livramentto and Kyle Walker for the right back, and Dan Burn and Myles Lewis-Skelly Opportunities on the left.
Jordan Pickford is expected to keep his NO1 T -shirt in the goal, but he could face the competition of Crystal Palace guard Dean Henderson.
