English striker of Ghanaian descent, Eddie Nketiah has been left out of England's squad for the 2024 Euro qualifiers in November.

The Arsenal forward who is on the radar of Ghana, received his debut call-up in September but made his England debut in October when he played 17 minutes in the Three Lions' 1-0 win against Australia in an international friendly.

Nketiah has struggled since his debut call-up, which saw him go on seven games goal drought. A streak that came to an end in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Sheffield United after he scored a hattrick.

Eddie Nketiah's omission means he is still eligible to switch nationality to Ghana as he is yet to make his competitive debut.

England will face Malta on Friday, November 17 before taking North Macedonia on Monday, November 20.
