England have several players missing from this squad due to injury or not being called up. In defence, left-back Lewis Hall (2 games), who started and played the full match against Ireland in November, is injured at Newcastle. In midfield, the most significant loss is Cole Palmer (11 games, 2 goals), who was injured in training last week and remains at Chelsea. At the same time, defensive midfielder Gallagher (21 games, 1 goal) was not called up. Up front, winger Madueke (5 games) was injured at the club, while Watkins (18 games, 5 goals) was not called up. However, this squad also has several players returning or being selected for the first time, including full-back Reece James (16 games) and winger Marcus Rashford (60 games, 17 goals) who have returned to the squad, and full-back Lewis Skelly and centre-back Dan Burn who have been selected for the first time.

Albania's main left back is absent!

The biggest loss in Albania's squad this time is its left back Mitai (23 games). He started all 6 games in the UEFA Nations League this season and played the full game. His absence is undoubtedly a catastrophic blow to the team. In addition, center forward Daku (8 games, 1 goal), who played 3 games and started 2 games, right back Hysaj (89 games, 2 goals), who played 3 games and started 3 games, substitute striker Sefri (26 games, 3 goals), who played 5 games, and Tuchi (4 games), who played 4 games and started 2 games, were also not included in the squad this game. Overall, both offense and defense have been significantly weakened.
