England Squad Update: Livramento, Ramsdale, and Gordon Out for Latvia Qualifier
England’s national side will be without Tino Livramento, Aaron Ramsdale, and Anthony Gordon for their World Cup qualifying match against Latvia this evening. Manager Thomas Tuchel has selected a 23-man squad for the fixture. Morgan Gibbs-White and Jarrel Quansah are included, having previously missed Friday’s victory over Albania.
Solid Start Under Tuchel
England began their campaign under Tuchel with a convincing 2-0 victory over Albania at Wembley Stadium. Myles Lewis-Skelly etched his name into the record books, becoming the youngest ever player to score on his England debut, finding the net in the first half. Harry Kane sealed the result with a goal 13 minutes from time. This win positioned England at the top of Group K following the first round of qualifying games.
Player Absences Explained
Livramento and Ramsdale are absent from the squad due to managerial selection. Gordon’s withdrawal is due to an injury sustained in the Albania match, compelling his return to Newcastle United.
Tuchel’s Rationale
Tuchel clarified his squad selection ahead of the Latvia fixture, stating:
“We have to get the process right to find the best group. If that means we leave very good and talented players out of the squad, this can happen. In the next 16 months it is important we find the right team and not the most talented 26 players. We need to get the team right. We need to get the team spirit right because it’s one thing to play qualifiers, it’s another thing to play tournament football.”
