Lee Carsley Names England Squad for Nations League Fixtures
Lee Carsley, the interim England boss, has announced his squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Greece and Finland. The Three Lions will be looking to maintain their momentum after a convincing 2-0 win over Ireland and a 2-0 victory over Finland in their previous matches.
Carsley has made a few changes to the squad, with Tottenham forward Dominic Solanke returning to the international fold after a seven-year absence. Solanke, who has impressed in his six games for Spurs, scoring three goals, will be looking to make a mark on the international stage.
The Squad in Full
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson, Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope
Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Levi Colwill, Marc Guehi, Ezri Konsa, Rico Lewis, John Stones, Kyle Walker
Midfielders: Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Conor Gallagher, Morgan Gibbs-White, Angel Gomes, Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer, Declan Rice
Forwards: Anthony Gordon, Jack Grealish, Harry Kane, Noni Madueke, Bukayo Saka, Dominic Solanke, Ollie Watkins
Fans have been reacting to the squad, with some surprised that Morgan Gibbs-White has been picked ahead of Morgan Rogers. One fan tweeted: "Morgan Rogers deserved a call-up," while another added: "Lee’s first L not picking Rogers." It’s clear that there’s a strong debate about the selection.
The Squad Analysis
The inclusion of Solanke is a bold move by Carsley, and he’ll be looking to make an impact in his first appearance since 2017. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham returns to the squad after recovering from an injury, which kept him out of the last squad.
What’s Next?
England will host Greece on October 12th before traveling to Finland for their clash on October 13th. Carsley’s side currently occupies second spot in League B Group 2, and they’ll be looking to maintain their position.
