England XI vs Croatia: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Nations League today

All remaining 23 players of the squad trained in full on Friday in Rijeka, as Tuchel revealed and that everyone was available for selection, also confirming Marc Guehi is “very likely to start” at right centre-back.Nico O’Reilly, however, has left the England squad and will play no further part in their two remaining Nations League games this month.On Thursday, it was confirmed by the FA that the 21-year-old had returned to Man City for tests, with Tuchel confirming the left-back’s “discomfort was too much” for him to return to the training pitch and required him to leave camp for treatment “as soon as possible”.His withdrawal — and the decision not to call up a replacement — increases the likelihood of another start at left-back for Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall, who made only his second start for his country in Prague earlier this week.In goal, James Trafford was handed the first two matches of the international break but is now set to be replaced by England’s long-time No1 Jordan Pickford, in accordance with the plan communicated to both goalkeepers before the Spain game by Tuchel.Return: Jordan PickfordGettyThe England head coach can choose between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jarell Quansah at right-back.Tuchel has hinted he will name a stronger team in Rijeka than next Tuesday on the basis of the perceived difficulty of facing Croatia, before resting key names for the final fixture against the Czech Republic.Declan Rice, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Tino Livramento dropped out of the squad ahead of the first game against Spain.England predicted line-up vs Croatia (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Guehi, Branthwaite, Hall; Anderson, Scott; Saka, Bellingham, Gordon; KaneRead MoreOut: O’Reilly, Rice, Palmer, Rashford, Mainoo, LivramentoTime and date: 5pm BST on Saturday 3, October 2026Venue: Stadion HNK Rijeka, Rijeka
