Thomas Tuchel is set to call up Newcastle United winger Harvey Barnes to the England senior men's squad. Barnes will replace Eberechi Eze, who withdrew from the national setup following an injury. According to Sky Sports, the Crystal Palace midfielder sustained the problem during a recent training session at St George's Park.
Barnes has made 27 appearances for Newcastle in the Premier League this season, scoring seven goals and providing five assists. The 28-year-old winger previously earned one cap for England in 2020. This selection marks his first involvement in the national squad under Tuchel's management, per The Guardian.
England are preparing for upcoming fixtures in the 2025-26 international window. Barnes is expected to join the group immediately to begin preparations with the rest of the squad. Crystal Palace medical staff will assess Eze to determine the full extent of his injury, according to the Premier League. Newcastle currently sit eighth in the league table as the domestic season enters its final stages.
