Morgan Gibbs-White Replaces Injured Cole Palmer in England Squad

The Nottingham Forest midfielder joins Thomas Tuchel's first England squad for 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.

Morgan Gibbs-White, 25, has been called up to the England squad after Cole Palmer was ruled out with a muscle injury.
Gibbs-White has been a standout performer for Nottingham Forest this season, contributing five goals and seven assists in 25 Premier League matches.
England manager Thomas Tuchel initially left Gibbs-White out of the squad but had mentioned him as one of several players unlucky to miss out.
This marks Gibbs-White's return to the senior England team, where he has earned two caps since his debut in September 2024.
England's 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign begins with matches against Albania on Friday and Latvia on March 24, both at Wembley Stadium.
