Rio Ngumoha is omitted from England matchday squad against Spain

According to BBC Sport, Liverpool teenager Rio Ngumoha has not been named in England's matchday squad for Saturday's Nations League opener against Spain at Wembley. The 18-year-old was named in a full England squad earlier this month by manager Thomas Tuchel but will miss the game; he was among five supplementary players who trained with the squad in Florida and made his England debut in a 1-0 win over New Zealand, becoming the fifth youngest to represent the Three Lions.
