Lee Carsley explains England selections

Lee Carsley has named five players from his England Under-21s team. He says he wanted to put his “own mark on the squad” and describes Morgan Gibbs-White and Angel Gomes as exciting players to watch, who deserve their call-ups.

He says Kyle Walker was not selected because he is yet to play for Manchester City this season and is being eased back following the Euros. Carsley says the majority of the squad have played regularly over the first two weeks of the season.

Carsley adds: “It’s important to also recognise how well (England) done in the past. We’ve come so close (to winning a trophy) but I thought it was important to put some fresh faces in the squad.”

Angel Gomes and Morgan Gibbs-White starred in the side who won the European Under-21 Championships for Lee Carsley in 2023, as did defender Levi Colwill plus Cole Palmer.

Meanwhile, Noni Madueke gets his first England call-up, four days after scoring a hat-trick in Chelsea’s 6-2 thrashing of Wolves.

Of the Euro 2024 squad, Ivan Toney, Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, Aaron Ramsdale and Adam Wharton are also omitted but Grealish is recalled, though only played 19 minutes for Manchester City this season.

Jude Bellingham an injury doubt for England games

Jude Bellingham is a doubt for England’s games against Ireland and Finland next week after the Real Madrid midfielder suffered a leg injury in training.

Reports in Spain suggest the 21-year-old will not be available until after the international break and a statement from Real Madrid released last Friday read:

“Following tests carried out today on Jude Bellingham by Real Madrid’s medical team, the player has been diagnosed with an injury to the plantaris muscle in his right leg.

“His progress will be monitored.”

He was not in the Real Madrid squad that beat Valladolid at the weekend.

Who makes Lee Carsley’s England squad?

So we know one England veteran from the Gareth Southgate era is not in the squad in Kieran Trippier – how about the likes of Harry Maguire and Kyle Walker?

Walker, 34, has been on the bench for Manchester City’s opening two games of the season, while Maguire missed the Euros in the summer and was replaced, impressively, by Marc Guehi.

Walker has insisted that he intends to continue his international career but Rico Lewis, his Manchester City team-mate, is a contender for his place.
