PREVIEW
England is set to face Greece and Finland in its Nations League fixtures at the Wembley stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke has been named in England interim manager Lee Carsley’s squad for next week’s Nations League games against Greece and Finland, seven years after gaining his only senior cap.
Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins is also included having withdrawn from the squad for the last two games.
There was no place for Tottenham midfielder James Maddison, Manchester United defender Harry Maguire or Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze with Carsley saying it is not about form but that he wants to look at other options in the upcoming games.
Carsley has enjoyed two wins since taking over after the resignation of Gareth Southgate following Euro 2024, with his England side defeating Ireland and Finland.
Asked about his chances of getting the job on a longer-term basis, he said his only concern was the upcoming games.
“I think it’s really clear what my remit is, it’s to take these three camps in the Nations League, something that I’m really comfortable doing,” Carsley told reporters.
Lee Carsley’s side host the Greeks at Wembley on Thursday before visiting Finland three days later.
PREDICTED LINEUPS:
England: Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Konsa, Stones, Lewis; Rice, Gomes; Saka, Grealish, Gordon; Kane
Greece: Vlachodimos; Rota, Mavropanos, Koulierakis, Tsimikas; Bouchalakis, Siopis; Chatzigiovannis, Bakasetas, Tzolis; Pavlidis
