Thomas Tuchel calls up Ethan Nwaneri to the England national team
England head coach Thomas Tuchel has finalized the squad for the training camp in North America. The German tactician unexpectedly chose Arsenal star Ethan Nwaneri over his teammate Max Dowman. Nwaneri became the fourth young player to join the camp in Miami. This is reported by Goal.com .
Along with Nwaneri, Bournemouth's Alex Scott, Fulham's Josh King, and Liverpool academy graduate Rio Ngumoha will also participate in the training sessions in Florida. This decision is a sign of great confidence in Nwaneri, as he struggled for playing time while on loan at Marseille this season.
Many fans expected the call-up of 16-year-old Max Dowman, the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history. However, Thomas Tuchel opted for Nwaneri, who is considered more experienced and has won the European Championship with the England U-21 team. Dowman will have to wait for his future at the Emirates Stadium.
Tuchel aims to improve training quality and balance the workload of the main squad by involving young players. The coach particularly praised the attitude of Alex Scott. According to him, this is a great opportunity for young players to get closer to the senior team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
