Liverpool youngster Rio Ngumoha has been included in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for this month's UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain.
The 18-year-old winger is part of the senior squad announced on Friday morning, with England preparing to host Croatia at Wembley on Thursday 12 November before travelling to Madrid to face Spain on Sunday 15 November.
Ngumoha's inclusion continues his involvement with the senior international set-up following his first full squad selection in September.
The Liverpool youngster made his senior England debut in June, coming off the bench during a 1-0 friendly victory over New Zealand in Tampa, Florida. He was just 17 years and 281 days old, becoming the fifth-youngest player to represent England.
He subsequently made his competitive international debut against Czechia in September, becoming England's third-youngest competitive debutant, behind Wayne Rooney and Jude Bellingham.
Born on 29 August 2008, Ngumoha previously represented England at youth level, beginning with the Under-15s and progressing through the younger age groups to the Under-19s.
His latest international selection follows further first-team involvement at Anfield this season.
Ngumoha has made 13 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions during the 2026-27 campaign, including seven in the Premier League and four in the Champions League. He has registered two assists in Europe.
The teenager originally joined our Academy from Chelsea in September 2024 and made his senior Liverpool debut against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup in January 2025.
He subsequently became Liverpool's youngest-ever goalscorer when he struck a dramatic stoppage-time winner in our 3-2 Premier League victory at Newcastle United in August 2025.
Elsewhere in Tuchel's latest selection, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham has received his first senior England call-up, joining older brother Jude in the squad.
Fulham's 19-year-old midfielder Josh King has also been handed a maiden senior call-up, while Chelsea's Cole Palmer has been left out.
England's two November fixtures will conclude their Nations League group campaign, with the Croatia match kicking off at 7.45pm UK time on Thursday.
