Ngumoha not in England squad to face Spain
Liverpool teenager Rio Ngumoha has been left out of England’s matchday squad for Saturday’s Nations League opener against Spain at Wembley. The 18-year-old received his first senior call-up earlier this month, but will not feature against the reigning world and European champions.
Ngumoha previously impressed on his England debut in a friendly against New Zealand, becoming the team’s fifth-youngest player. His club career has also advanced quickly: he became Liverpool’s youngest-ever first-team starter at 16 and scored a late Premier League winner against Newcastle, although he has made only three league appearances this season, with one start.
