Kyle Walker Omitted from England Squad

Kyle Walker has accepted his omission from the England squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures, stating that interim manager Lee Carsley made 'the right call'. The 34-year-old defender has had limited playing time for Manchester City this season, featuring only as a substitute in one match, which he acknowledged as a valid reason for his exclusion. Walker expressed disappointment over not representing his country but emphasized the importance of performance and merit in selection. He noted that Carsley, who took over after Gareth Southgate's departure, had a conversation with him prior to the announcement. Walker aims to prove his worth and secure his place in future squads as he approaches his 100th cap. England is set to play against Ireland and Finland in their Nations League matches this month.
