Carsley Announces Final England Squad Amid Injuries

Interim England manager Lee Carsley has named his final squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Greece and Ireland, which includes first call-ups for Newcastle's Lewis Hall and Southampton's Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Despite recent injuries, Jack Grealish, Declan Rice, and Cole Palmer are included, while John Stones and Kobbie Mainoo miss out. Carsley stated that Thomas Tuchel, who will take over as head coach in January, had no influence over the squad selection. The matches are critical as England, currently second in their group, must win to secure promotion to Nations League A. Carsley will return to managing the Under-21s after these games, expressing satisfaction with the experience gained during his interim tenure.
