Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes is set to be called up to Thomas Tuchel's England squad to replace the injured Eberechi Eze. Eze was not in Arsenal's squad for Sunday's 2-0 Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester City because of a lower leg injury. Barnes has been called up once before, in October 2020, when he won his only England cap in a friendly against Wales. The Three Lions face Uruguay on 27 March and Japan on 31 March, with both games at Wembley Stadium. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen say defender Jarell Quansah has been ruled out of England's friendlies with a thigh injury.
