Thomas Tuchel has just named his latest England squad for the upcoming international break, and it features a few surprises ahead of upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania.
Nick Pope is back in and replaces Man City stopper and former Toon target James Trafford, with Tuchel rewarding the 33-year-old for his eight clean sheets in all competitions this season.
