Rio Ngumoha decision confirmed as Man City suffer new injury blow before Liverpool

Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha has been called into England's matchday squad for the Nations League fixture against Czech Republic in Prague. The 18-year-old was selected by manager Thomas Tuchel to replace Manchester City left-back Nico O'Reilly, who has been ruled out due to injury. O'Reilly and Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa both missed group training, though Konsa is expected to be passed fit.

O'Reilly's setback adds to Manchester City's squad issues ahead of their Premier League clash against Liverpool on October 11. City will also be without the suspended Phil Foden following his red card against Manchester United, while attacker Antoine Semenyo recently withdrew from the Ghana squad due to an injury concern.
