England Team News: Lee Carsley’s Experimental Line-Up for Finland Clash
Lee Carsley is set to make some bold changes to the England team for tonight’s Nations League clash against Finland at Wembley Stadium. The interim boss is looking to build on the impressive 2-0 victory over Ireland last Saturday, and it seems he’s willing to take some risks to get the job done.
According to reports, Rico Lewis is in line to start at right-back, with John Stones and Ezri Konsa replacing Marc Guehi and Harry Maguire at centre-back. The Manchester City defender has only one senior cap to his name, but he’s been impressing in training and could be the perfect fit for the role.
Angel Gomes is also expected to start, after making his full England debut off the bench against Ireland. The former Manchester United youth star was one of four uncapped players named in Carsley’s first squad, and he’s looking to make a big impact.
This experimental line-up could be a sign of things to come under Carsley’s management. The former Ireland youth international has already shown a willingness to take risks and try new things, and it’s exciting to see how this team will shape up.
The Verdict
Carsley’s bold changes could pay off tonight, but it’s also a risk. Will the team gel together quickly enough to get the result they need? We’ll have to wait and see.
