Everton star James Garner has been called up by Thomas Tuchel after Kobbie Mainoo reportedly pulled out of the England squad through injury.
It was reported by David Ornstein of the Athletic that the Manchester United midfielder was among the absentees, joining Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford and Declan Rice.
It was believed that the midfielder picked up an injury in United's 1-1 draw with Fulham, where he played 80 minutes before making way for Mason Mount.
