A statement from the Football Association confirmed that Watkins will not feature in England's World Cup qualifier against Latvia on Tuesday night. This opportunity has been given to Scarlett, who will join the team's training ahead of the match.
England's social media accounts announced Scarlett's inclusion, welcoming him to the training session. The team's captain, Harry Kane, is expected to return after missing the clash against Wales.
Scarlett has made 22 appearances for Tottenham, scoring one goal and providing three assists. If given the opportunity, he could potentially replace Kane in the lineup.
Thomas Tuchel's side will qualify for the 2026 World Cup if they win against Latvia. Harry Kane, England's top scorer, is looking to continue his goal-scoring streak and help his team secure a spot in the international tournament.
