The Three Lions will be aiming to make it five wins from their opening five 2026 World Cup qualification matches when they make the trip to Belgrade on Tuesday night to face a tough Serbia side.
Lewis-Skelly started the 2-0 win over Andorra last weekend and played the full 90 minutes at Villa Park, but now Tuchel has removed him from the squad in a game that comes before the Gunners face Nottingham Forest this weekend.
Former Liverpool and now Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarrell Quansah was left out of Saturday’s win over Andorra and now it looks to be Lewis-Skelly's turn. He may be replaced by Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi who is reportedly fit for the clash.
The 18-year-old is one of the world's brightest young talents and Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will be happy to see him rested ahead of this weekend’s game, where his side will want to bounce back from their crushing 1-0 loss to Liverpool before the break.
The Three Lions should have no problems qualifying for the World Cup without Lewis-Skelly and should have the quality to beat Serbia as they continue to cruise at the top of Group K.
