Milan midfielder and Leverkusen defender called up
Loftus-Cheek returns for first time in six years
The Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah have been called up to the England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
Loftus-Cheek and Quansah will join Thomas Tuchel’s group for the double-header after Adam Wharton withdrew due to a groin injury suffered in Crystal Palace’s 3-0 win at Aston Villa on Sunday.
Loftus-Cheek returns to the England fold for the first time in six years, with his last call-up coming in March 2019. He has won 10 caps, the last of which was against the United States in November 2018, but is known to Tuchel having played under him at Chelsea.
