Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel omits a surprising player from the matchday squad for England's World Cup qualifier in Serbia

Myles Lewis-Skelly, who started England's previous U-19 match against Andorra, will not feature in the team for the match against Serbia on Tuesday night. The question on everyone's mind is who will replace the young defender.

Lewis-Skelly made his international debut under Thomas Tuchel in March and has since earned a total of four caps for England. His most recent appearance was against Andorra, where he helped secure a 2-0 win for the English team.

The absence of Lewis-Skelly leaves a vacancy in the left-back position, and several potential options are being considered. Dan Burn, Tino Livramento, and Djed Spence are among the players being looked at to fill the void.

Dan Burn started in central defense alongside Marc Guehi in England's previous match, but he could be moved to the left-back position if needed. Marc Guehi, despite some doubts about his fitness due to a groin issue, will be able to feature in the match against Serbia.

Jarell Quansah, who was omitted from the squad for England's previous match against Andorra, is another player who could potentially step up to the plate.

England is currently leading their World Cup qualifying group with four wins from four and no conceded goals. A win for Serbia could reduce England's lead in the standings to just two points, putting them on the brink of qualifying for the World Cup finals.

Tino Livramento played the final 22 minutes at right-back in England's previous match, and he could be moved to the left-back position if needed. Djed Spence is yet to make his senior international debut for England, despite being called up this month.

The decision to drop Lewis-Skelly was made by Thomas Tuchel, and the exact reasons for his omission are not yet known.

Without concrete information about the match, the turn, or the squad, it is not possible to name a definitive replacement for Lewis-Skelly. However, official sources such as the FA (thefa.com) or the UEFA match report (uefa.com) can provide updates on any changes to the squad. Social media pages of the English U-19 national team or official clubs (such as Arsenal, if Lewis-Skelly plays there) often provide last-minute updates. Sports news sites like BBC Sport or Eurosport also have the latest updates on national team matches.
