call up

Sasaki, the rookie phenom who struggled in a starting role before going down with a shoulder injury at the start of the year, could be primed for a big league call-up.

The 27-year-old was a belated call-up to the squad after a sparkling Hundred campaign for winners Oval Invincibles, as he scored 238 runs and took 12 wickets.

Amorim gave Bayindir his Premier League debut in the game that followed at Newcastle and, while Onana did appear to end the season as first choice given he started both legs of the Europa League semi-final and the final, the previous faith in him from the coaching side - Ten Hag delayed his call-up to the Africa Cup of Nations in 2024 so long that the only game he missed was the FA Cup win at Newport - had reduced.

But Spence stayed in the picture, and after playing every minute for Spurs in the new Premier League season to date he has got his call-up to the senior squad.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson is set for his first England call-up, though Everton winger Jack Grealish may miss out despite Tuchel's assistant Anthony Barry watching him impress in last weekend's win against Brighton.
