– But Brentford striker Ivan Toney is in line to make his international debut.
– Toney, who has scored five goals in the Premier League this season, received his first England call-up this month but was not included for the Italy game.
– He has been named in the Three Lions’ 23-man squad to face Germany, but Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish is out through suspension.
– The other omissions are squad selections and not due to injury.
– Alexander-Arnold tops the standings for chances created by an English full-back so far this season in all club competitions with an average of 2.7 per match.
– The 23-year-old has scored two league goals for Liverpool this season, and played 737 minutes – more than any other English full-back.
