Loftus-Cheek will replace Wharton in the team. He has started the season well with AC Milan, scoring a goal in their recent 2-0 win over Lecce. This victory helped AC Milan move up to eighth place in the league. Loftus-Cheek has played for Chelsea under Tuchel's management, making 46 appearances and scoring one goal with five assists.

Loftus-Cheek, who is 29 years old, has played for England 10 times but not since November 2018. His last appearance was as a substitute in a game against the United States. Reports suggest that Tuchel values Loftus-Cheek's unique combination of strength and technical skill, which is why he was selected quickly.

England will play Andorra at home on September 6th and Serbia away three days later in World Cup qualifiers. These matches could provide Loftus-Cheek with opportunities to play for his country before next summer's World Cup.
