England confirm a 26-man squad for their Nations League matches with Greece and the Republic of Ireland, as Declan Rice and Cole Palmer both make the cut.
England have confirmed a 26-man squad for their Nations League matches with Greece and the Republic of Ireland, which will be Lee Carsley‘s last two games in charge of the Three Lions.
Interim head coach Carsley will step aside for new permanent head coach Thomas Tuchel at the start of next year, having taken the reins from Gareth Southgate following his resignation after Euro 2024.
Carsley has overseen three victories and one defeat from his four League B Group 2 games, masterminding two successes against Finland and one against Ireland in addition to the shock home loss to Greece.
England sit second in the section as a result – three points below unblemished leaders Greece, who they face in Athens on November 14 – three days before hosting Ireland at Wembley Stadium.
England squad in full:
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Southampton)
Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Lewis Hall (Newcastle United), Taylor Harwood-Bellis (Southampton), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Rico Lewis (Manchester City), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)
Midfielders: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Conor Gallagher (Atletico Madrid), Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest), Angel Gomes (Lille), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Declan Rice (Arsenal)
Forwards: Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Noni Madueke (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Dominic Solanke (Tottenham Hotspur), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
