Thomas Tuchel rewards one-cap England star for Scotland snub with call-up to replace Eberechi Eze
Harvey Barnes is set to be called up to the England squad by Thomas Tuchel after Eberechi Eze suffered an injury, talkSPORT understands.
Barnes, who turned down a switch of international allegiance to Scotland in February, last played for the Three Lions in 2020.
The Newcastle winger had long been tipped to play for the Tartan Army amid his drought of call-ups to the England set-up.
However, after scoring 14 goals in all competitions this season, his form has been rewarded.
Barnes will replace Eze, who played no part in Arsenal’s Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
The ex-Crystal Palace man missed out on that game due to injury, and he’s set to withdraw from the Three Lions squad too.
He was originally called up by Tuchel on Friday for the final camp before the World Cup this summer.
