Arsenal star Declan Rice is pleased to be back in the England camp alongside former Tottenham transfer target Morgan Gibbs-White.
In one of the transfer sagas that defined the summer window, Gibbs-White appeared set to join Spurs before agreeing a new contract with Forest, who had threatened legal action against the North Londoners.
The attacking midfielder helped Nuno Espirito Santo’s men beat Brentford on the Premier League’s opening weekend by producing an assist.
Meanwhile, Gibbs-White is set to feature for England in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.

Palmer proved his class by scoring 15 goals and producing 11 assists in 46 outings across all competitions last term, and is an increasingly vital figure for the national team.
However, the 23-year-old’s injury can help fellow attacking midfielders like Gibbs-White and Morgan Rogers show Tuchel what they can do on the international stage.
Jude Bellingham’s injury setback will also help both the Forest ace and the Aston Villa man enjoy game time against both Andorra and Serbia.
Gibbs-White’s impressive haul of seven goals and eight assists last season helped the City Ground club qualify for Europe last term, having previously endured a relegation battle.
However, the former Wolves man is yet to score for England, which he can rectify against Andorra on Saturday, 6 September.
