England is gearing up for its upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Greece and Finland, both matches scheduled to take place at the iconic Wembley Stadium. Interim manager Lee Carsley has revealed his squad for these crucial encounters, with some notable inclusions and exclusions.
One of the most intriguing selections is Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke, who earns a recall to the national team seven years after his only senior cap. Another familiar face in the squad is Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins, who was absent from the previous two games.
However, Carsley’s squad also features some notable absences. Tottenham midfielder James Maddison, Manchester United defender Harry Maguire, and Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze have all been omitted. Carsley has emphasized that his selections are not solely based on form, but rather an opportunity to assess other options within the squad.
Carsley has enjoyed a successful start to his tenure as interim manager, having guided England to victories over Ireland and Finland. When asked about his chances of securing the role permanently, Carsley remained focused on the upcoming matches, stating that his primary concern is achieving success in the Nations League.
England’s first match against Greece is scheduled for Thursday at Wembley Stadium, followed by a trip to Finland three days later. Both fixtures will be critical as England aims to secure positive results and make their mark in the prestigious tournament.
