England manager Thomas Tuchel has left Cole Palmer and Phil Foden out of his latest squad for the final Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.

However, Jobe Bellingham and Fulham midfielder Josh King have received their first senior call-ups.

Tuchel said Palmer had missed too many opportunities to represent England, despite scoring five goals and providing three assists for Chelsea this season.

Jobe Bellingham joins his elder brother, Jude, in the squad after impressing at Borussia Dortmund.

King also earns his first call-up following a strong start to the season, with two goals and one assist in the Premier League.

Defender Ben White returns to the squad for the first time since March, while Declan Rice is also back after missing the previous camp through injury.

Djed Spence has also returned after recovering from injury.

England will host Croatia at Wembley on November 12 before travelling to Madrid to face Spain three days later.

Tuchel’s side are second in Group A4, three points behind leaders Spain. The top two teams will qualify for the Nations League quarter-finals.

Newcastle United defender Amar Dedic was stopped by police after being spotted carrying a bow and arrows at a Northumberland beauty spot.

Bosnia-Herzegovina international Dedic, 24, was with a friend when he was stopped in a car after a concerned member of the public raised the alarm.

Reports say six police cars, external were dispatched, including armed police, and that Dedic and his companion were stopped about seven miles away from where they were originally spotted.

Police searched the car and seized the bow and arrows but were satisfied the two men were not a threat to the public.

Report says Dedic had no ill intention and has fully co-operated with police.

It is reported Newcastle goalkeeper Mark Gillespie, 34, and former defender Paul Dummett, 35, arrived at the scene while police were speaking to Dedic.

It is understood the pair were in the area by chance and stopped to offer assistance.

The incident happened on Wednesday, two days after Dedic – who joined from Benfica for a fee in the region of £30m in August – had played in Newcastle’s 1-0 home defeat by Everton.

Newcastle, who are 13th in the Premier League table on 11 points from nine games, have not commented.

Northumbria Police has released a statement and said enquiries are ongoing. The force has not named Dedic.

It said it received reports of two men carrying a bow and arrows while walking along a track by the reservoir on Military Road in the Harlow Hill area.

“Officers attended and subsequently stopped a vehicle in the Darras Hall area and seized a bow and arrows,” added the statement.

“At this stage, it is understood they were for recreational use and there was no threat to the public.”

Newcastle are at Fulham on Saturday (15:00 GMT) before the November international break.

Suspected terrorists have reportedly killed two people and abducted 20 others in a fresh attack on Akwando community in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.The attack, which occurred on Wednesday, has heightened fears among residents, particularly as neighbouring communities continue to grapple with repeated assaults and abductions.

The incident was disclosed on Thursday by the President of the Kuturmi Unity Development Association (KUDA), Dr Joseph Ariko, and the association’s Publicity Secretary, Manasseh Samuel Akwando.

In a statement, the association expressed concern over the recurring attacks on communities in Kuturmi land, describing the latest incident as another troubling development in the area’s worsening security situation.

KUDA released the names of the 20 people reportedly abducted during the attack. They include Usman Galadima, La’a’zarus Genesis, Madalin Markus, Happy Stephen, Lovet Ishaya, Afiniki Irimeya, Amina Ahmadu, Miracle Genesis, Hellen Irimeya and Musa Genesis.

Others are Janet Irimeya, Gloria Markus, Zila Stephen, Alis Ahmadu, Haske Ahmadu, Great Isiac, Hanatu Irimeya, Desmon Ishaya, Siam Shagari and Nansy Genesis.The association recalled that an Easter Sunday attack on Ariko community reportedly left five people dead at the scene, while another 17 victims later died in captivity.

It also raised concerns over a separate attack on Awon community, where two people were reportedly killed and 11 others abducted.According to KUDA, five of the victims abducted in Awon regained their freedom on November 3, 2026, but one reportedly died the following day. Another victim escaped, while five others died in captivity.

The association said the repeated attacks had triggered widespread fear and displacement, disrupted economic activities and forced residents to abandon their farmlands.It further alleged that armed groups had restricted access to ancestral lands and agricultural activities, with residents reportedly required to pay levies before cultivating their farms or harvesting produce.

The association called for independent investigations into the allegations and circumstances surrounding the attacks.KUDA appealed to the Federal Government, Kaduna State Government and Kachia Local Government Council to urgently deploy adequately equipped security personnel to Akwando, Ariko, Awon and other vulnerable communities.

It also demanded coordinated security operations to secure the release of the 20 abducted residents and others still being held captive.Other demands include the establishment of permanent security posts, regular patrols, effective early-warning systems, prosecution of those responsible and humanitarian assistance for affected families and displaced residents.
