Four new faces in England squad

Last updated : 29 August 2024 By Three Lions

Four new faces have been included in Lee Carsley's England squad for upcoming Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland.

In interim charge of the senior team after Gareth Southgate's decision to step down following this summer's Euros, Carsley has called up a quartet of players familiar to him from his successful under-21 side, Angel Gomes, Tino Livramento, Morgan Gibbs-White and Noni Madueke.

Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire are recalled after missing the Euros, Maguire through injury and Grealish having fallen down the attacking pecking order, while Kyle Walker misses out having yet to feature for Manchester City this season.

The experienced defender remains in Carsley's thoughts but fellow mainstay Kieran Trippier has called time on his England career after 54 appearances, while Luke Shaw and Jude Bellingham are sidelined by injury.

Harry Kane is in the squad and will join the exclusive club of players to have earned 100 England caps if he features in both of September's games.
