Fulham's Josh King confirmed he is fully fit to feature for England's senior team during the November international break after he was substituted off in the 1-1 draw againstNewcastle.
"It was more precautionary, I think. It was maybe a tight groin and I didn't want to overdo it. I couldn't turn down the call. I'm all good fitness wise," said the 19-year-old.
Although King was included in Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions training group for the 2026 World Cup, this will be the playmaker's first camp where he is in contention for his senior debut.
King said: "It was an amazing opportunity for me. It was really nice to be able to meet other lads and get a taste of what it's like.
"Obviously, I didn't make an appearance then, but just being in and around it was incredible, and I took a lot of learning from that opportunity.
"Obviously, it was a massive part of my journey and I think it's given me the confidence to start this season so well.
"It's just an honour to be here and have an opportunity. I think I'm capable of playing lots of different positions, which is probably part of the reason why I'm here."
Although Fulham have endured a rocky start to the 2026-27 season, King has started every Premier League game, and has three goal involvements so far this season.
