There are suggestions that the AC Milan midfielder has been asked to join up by Thomas Tuchel for the World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia this month, following an injury worry over Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, who came off in their 3-0 win against Aston Villa on Sunday in the Premier League. The FA are yet to make a statement or any public comment on Loftus-Cheek's call-up or Wharton's muscle injury issue.
