Lee Carsley has announced his first England squad as interim head coach for the upcoming Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland, including uncapped players Noni Madueke, Morgan Gibbs-White, Tino Livramento, and Angel Gomes. Notably absent from the squad is Kyle Walker, while Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire have been recalled after missing the Euro 2024 final squad. Jude Bellingham and Luke Shaw are sidelined due to injuries, and Kieran Trippier has retired from international football. Carsley steps in following Gareth Southgate's departure after the team's defeat in the Euro 2024 final, with Eddie Howe and Graham Potter being the likely successors for the permanent managerial position. The matches kick off on September 6 and 10, 2024, marking a new chapter for the England team under Carsley’s leadership. His previous success with the Under-21s adds optimism to this transitional phase for the national squad.
