England squad LIVE: Lee Carsley makes first announcement as four uncapped players selected ahead of Nations League fixtures

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.

Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton),Nick Pope(Newcastle United)

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa),Rico Lewis (Manchester City),Tino Livramento (Newcastle United), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City)

Midfielders: Phil Foden (Manchester City), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest), Angel Gomes (Lille), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Declan Rice (Arsenal)

Forwards: Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United) ,Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Noni Madueke (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)

Once England’s squad is announced at 2pm, Lee Carsley will face the media for the first time and give a press conference to explain his selections.

It may also shed some light on the FA’s recruitment process for Gareth Southgate’s successor.

As a reminder, this was the 26-man squad named by Gareth Southgate for Euro 2024.

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.

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.

Trippier represented the Three Lions 54 times at senior level, reaching the final of Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 – with England losing both games.

The Newcastle full-back announced his international retirement on social media on Thursday (29 August), two hours before Carsley will name his first squad since replacing Gareth Southgate.

“I never thought as a young lad from Bury that I would play for my country, let alone achieve 54 caps,” wrote Trippier, 33, on Instagram.

“It’s been one of the biggest honours of my life to represent my country at 4 major tournaments. I want to say a big thank you to Gareth and all the staff that have worked with the England squad for the trust they have placed in me throughout the years.

“Thank you to all my team mates – we have had some very special moments reaching 2 Euro finals, and a World Cup semi final, and I am sure in the future this group of players will win a major tournament.

“I want to wish Lee, the coaching staff and the team all the best for the future. And finally a big thank you to all the England fans for your incredible support travelling all over the world to support us and keeping us going in the difficult moments.”
