England vs Spain LIVE: Nations League updates as Three Lions comeback from goal down

England host Spain in their first match since the 2026 World Cup as the tournament's third and first-placed finishers at Wembley in the Nations League, and you can follow it all live on ESPN.

Thomas Tuchel led the Three Lions to their best finish at a World Cup in 60 years but faced criticism after falling to a 2-1 defeat against Argentina, despite taking a 1-0 lead.

He looks to prove the doubters wrong as Spain, who lifted the World Cup for the second time when beating Argentina 1-0 after extra time, come to London.

There have been a few marked differences to the squad that Tuchel has picked for this block of fixtures -- in which England will also face Czechia, home and away, and Croatia.

Cole Palmer returned to the squad but has subsequently left due to injury, something Tuchel has addressed in a news conference.

Other new inclusions see Trent Alexander-Arnold, Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento back in the squad, while Jarrad Branthwaite, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Alex Scott, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Rio Ngumoha were also called into the side.

Palmer was joined in the absences list by Declan Rice, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford and Livramento and they were replaced by Morgan Gibbs-White and James Garner.

Spain meanwhile arrive in north London looking to show just what it took to make them world champions.

Luis de la Fuente has taken Spain to the final of the last two Nations League competitions, winning in 2022-23 and losing to Portugal on penalties in the 2024-25 edition.
