England Call Up Liverpool Duo for Triple Qualifiers
As the 2025 international window—a crucial period for European national teams—fizzles out, England have confirmed their squads for upcoming youth qualifiers, with two Liverpool players receiving the nod from the England youth selectors. While none of Liverpool’s senior stars have been called up to Thomas Tuchel’s squad this month, the club is represented at youth level by defenders Amara Nallo (England U20s) and attackers Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha (England U19s)[1].
The England U19s, managed by Will Antwi, have named Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha in their 21-man squad for the first round of the UEFA U19 EURO 2026 qualifying campaign, which includes matches against Lithuania, Latvia, and Scotland in November 2024[1][4]. Nyoni, a regular for the U19s since November 2024, and Ngumoha, will be looking to help their team advance from a group that promises intense competition. The top two teams from each group will progress to the next stage, scheduled for March 2026. The qualifiers will be held at the Raudondvaris Stadium in Lithuania, with England set to face Lithuania on November 12, Latvia on November 15, and Scotland on November 18[1][4].
This international break arrives at a particularly significant stage in international football, as the draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico—is set for December. For some nations, these fixtures are crucial to lock in World Cup qualification, while for others, they are vital opportunities to fine-tune preparations for the tournament next summer[1].
The article also notes the broader context of the international break, which is not always popular among club football fans, especially when it disrupts domestic competitions. Nonetheless, the quality of English youth prospects and the chance to see emerging talents like Nyoni and Ngumoha in action make this window of particular interest for supporters of both Liverpool and the Three Lions[1].
