Lee Carsley Named Harry Maguire, Cole Palmer In England Squad For Nations League

Lee Carsley Named Harry Maguire, Cole Palmer In England Squad For Nations League—-Lee Carsley has called uncapped quartet of Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, Lille Angel Gomes, Nottingham Forest Morgan Gibbs-White and Newcastle United Tino Livramento for the upcoming international break.

The interim boss, naming the first England squad since Gareth Southgate’s departure after Euro 2024, has also recalled Jack Grealish, Harry Maguire and Nick Pope, but Marcus Rashford, Kyle Walker and Ivan Toney are among those left out.

Kieran Trippier is omitted having announced his international retirement shortly before the squad was announced. Real Madrid starboy Jude Bellingham misses out through injury.

Arsenal’s Ben White still absent despite the change in management, Reece James not called up as well through injury he sustain during preseason tour.

Aaron Ramsdale, Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, Adam Wharton and the injured Luke Shaw are also cut from the squad that went to the Euros, but Rico Lewis and Levi Colwill, who have one cap each, are included in a defensive unit which includes Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold’s inclusion as a defender rather than a midfielder is another talking point but the biggest surprise is the inclusion of the four uncapped players Carsley worked with during his three-year spell in charge of England’s U21s.

The Three Lions will take on Ireland on Saturday 7 September before returning to Wembley for the game against Finland on Tuesday 10 September.
