Story summary

England called up Manchester City star Lewis for their upcoming match against Czechia, after teammate Nico O'Reilly was forced to leave the squad due to an injury following their previous meeting in Prague. Despite initial reports that no replacement would be added, Lewis joins as a substitute left-back option. Currently, Newcastle's Lewis Hall is the only other recognized left-back in the England squad. Hall started and performed well in recent matches against Czechia and Croatia. With his increased playing time at City this season and previous national team appearances, including a victory over Greece in 2024, Lewis could see action as England hosts Czechia at Wembley.
