England squad LIVE: Lee Carsley makes first announcement as four uncapped players selected

Noni Madueke?

There is a lot of competition among the wide forward positions, but Madueke is in form after hitting a stunning hat-trick for Chelsea in the 6-2 win at Wolves last weekend. Another star of Carsley’s Under-21 team, he is an outside contender to receive his first senior call-up.

Morgan Gibbs-White?

Gibbs-White played a starring role for Carsley as England won the Under-21 Euros two summers ago, which was followed by another impressive season for Nottingham Forest. He’s been close to a call-up before, will it arrive now with a change of England manager?

Tino Livramento?

We could see several players used by Carsley in the Under-21s named in today’s senior squad, including Newcastle’s right back Tino Livramento. He’s already taken the place of Kieran Trippier at club level, could he do the same on the international scene?

Ben White?

The Arsenal defender has not been in an England squad since leaving the 2022 World Cup, amid reports of a row with Gareth Southgate’s assistant Steve Holland.

Southgate said he was open to White returning to England and said his international future was in his hands, but the right back did not return ahead of the Euros.

The situation is not expected to change now Carsley is in charge.

James Maddison?

A poor second half of the season cost Maddison as he was cut from England’s squad before the Euros. He recently told Sky Sports that he “struggled to find the consistency second half of last season post injury” - it may be a bit early to say he’s back firing, but there’s more room in midfield for a creator like Maddison, especially if Bellingham is injured.

Jack Grealish?

He’d certainly love the chance to play against Ireland next month, but Grealish has played just 20 minutes for Manchester City this season and that doesn’t look enough to get a recall after being cut from Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad.

But England’s left-side was a problem during the Euros, so perhaps Carsley looks to Grealish for natural width?

Marcus Rashford?

Perhaps the biggest omission from England’s Euro 2024 squad, but not a surprising one given his form for Manchester United last season. There hasn’t been time for Rashford to prove he’s turned a corner at club level and it’s not as if he’s hit the ground running this season after having a summer off.

It looks unlikely that the 26-year-old will return.

Raheem Sterling?

The top scorer for England under Gareth Southgate after Harry Kane, Sterling has not played for the Three Lions since the 2022 World Cup.

Given that he’s been frozen out at Chelsea, with his future uncertain ahead of the transfer deadline, it looks very unlikely that Sterling would return under Carsley.

It’s been 45 days since England lost to Spain in the final of Euro 2024 - and Lee Carsley’s squad is expected to be similar to the one that reached the final in Germany under Gareth Southgate.

It goes without saying that captain Harry Kane will be selected, as well as the spine of the England team from Euro 2024: Jordan Pickford, John Stones, Declan Rice, Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka. Jude Bellingham is a fitness doubt after suffering an injury at Real Madrid.

But we could see plenty of new faces from there...

England interim manager Lee Carsley is shaping his backroom staff ahead of his first match in charge of the national side and has let go two of Gareth Southgate’s long-serving analysts.

Mike Baker and Stephen O’Brien were the lead performance analysts under former England boss Southgate but will not have a role in the next senior men’s camp as Carsley has promoted Under-21s analyst James Ryder to work alongside him.

Baker and O’Brien, who are both employed full-time with the Football Association, will not lose their jobs in the analyst department but they are now excluded from the England’s manager’s close circle following eight years working under Southgate.
