Manchester City’s Nico O’Reilly has received his first call up to the England senior squad.

The 20 year old moves across from the MU21s squad and comes into contention for the Three Lions’ forthcoming fixtures against Wales and Latvia.

The inclusion of O’Reilly, who has been capped from MU15 through to MU20 level, follows the withdrawal of Reece James.

The Chelsea captain sustained an injury playing for his club over the weekend and has been ruled out of England’s October internationals following medical assessments.

Thomas Tuchel’s squad welcome Wales for an Alzheimer’s Society International at Wembley on Thursday 9 October (7.45pm BST kick-off) before travelling to Riga to face Latvia in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday 14 October (7.45pm BST kick-off).
