England have included Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White in their squad for this month’s World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia at Wembley, as announced by the team on Sunday.
Gibbs-White has played a crucial role in Forest’s drive towards Champions League qualification, contributing five goals and seven assists in the Premier League this season.
The team currently sits in third place in the league standings.
His omission from the original England squad raised eyebrows among fans, particularly with the inclusion of 34-year-old Jordan Henderson from Ajax Amsterdam.
Gibbs-White has earned two caps since making his debut in September and celebrated winning the Under-21 Euros with England in 2023.
He is expected to step in for Cole Palmer, who was absent for Chelsea’s loss to Arsenal on Sunday due to a muscle injury sustained in training, as confirmed by his manager Enzo Maresca.
England will kick off their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign at home against Albania on Friday, followed by a match against Latvia on March 24th.
