The Story in 60 Seconds

Arsenal midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly will miss England's Nations League match against Croatia on November 12 due to suspension, despite being named in Thomas Tuchel's 25-man squad. The 20-year-old picked up a one-match ban after receiving cautions in both home and away fixtures against Czechia during the last international break.
