It remains to be seen as to why Khusanov was not selected for duties under Fabio Cannavaro, while a fall-out within the last international camp has seen Ait-Nouri excluded from duties this time around. On a fitness and injury front, Marc Guehi (England) has withdrawn from Thomas Tuchel's squad after further assessment on a hip problem aggravated during the 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest, while Nico O'Reilly (England) also appears to be short on the required fitness. Finally, Antoine Semenyo (Ghana) remains ruled out of any action as he continues his recovery from a longer-term injury, with the expectation being that the Ghanaian could return in mid-December for Enzo Maresca's side.
