Liverpool teenager Rio Ngumoha has not been selected for England's matchday squad for Saturday's Nations League match against Spain. The 18-year-old forward was named in a full squad for the first time by manager Thomas Tuchel earlier this month but will miss the game against the reigning world and European champions at Wembley (19:45 BST). Ngumoha was one of five additional players who traveled with the England senior squad during their pre-World Cup training camp in Florida last summer. He made his debut in a 1-0 friendly victory over New Zealand, impressing in a second-half appearance and becoming the fifth youngest player to represent England, known as the Three Lions. Ngumoha has experienced a rapid rise in his career since becoming the youngest player in Liverpool's history to start a first-team match. He made his debut at 16 in the FA Cup against Accrington Stanley during the 2024-25 season. He then made his Premier League debut with a stunning late winner in Liverpool's 3-2 victory at Newcastle last season. This season, Ngumoha has made three league appearances for Liverpool under manager Andoni Iraola, but only one of those has been as a starting player. His development has drawn attention from fans and pundits alike, highlighting his potential as a young talent in English football.
