Tuchel sees Forest ace Anderson as 'a good package'

NOTTINGHAM Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson has received his first England call-up.

- 

Former Forest loan star Djed Spence, who played in the Championship promotion campaign, has also been selected for the first time, with Trent Alexander-Arnold among those conspicuous by their absence from Thomas Tuchel's squad.

The Euro 2024 runners-up host Andorra on September 6 before the Group K leaders head to Belgrade to face Serbia on September 9 as World Cup qualification continues.

Tuchel has named a 24-man squad for the doubleheader, which includes Forest star Anderson, who starred in England's Under-21 Euros triumph over the summer.

Adam Wharton is included in Tuchel's squad for the first time but there is no place for Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker, Phil Foden and Ivan Toney.

Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire continue to be overlooked by the England boss, while injury has ruled out Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill.
