Lee Carsley has announced his second England squad for the upcoming Nations League matches in October.
Similar to his previous squad, Carsley has chosen a mix of youth and experience, with players like Angel Gomes and Jack Grealish making a return.
This time around, Dominic Solanke has been called back after his impressive performances at Tottenham, while Kyle Walker and Jude Bellingham return from injury.
Players like Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, and Ollie Watkins, who missed out on the last squad, have also been included.
However, Tino Livramento, Harry Maguire, Jarrod Bowen, and Eberechi Eze will not be part of the squad this time.
Ready to go again. 🦁🦁🦁

Despite a strong start at Tottenham, James Maddison has once again been left out of the squad. Aaron Ramsdale’s move to Southampton has not yet paid off, as other goalkeepers have been chosen over him.
Players like Rico Lewis, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Noni Madueke have retained their spots, and Conor Gallagher’s impressive form at Atletico Madrid has earned him a place in the squad.
England will face Greece at Wembley Stadium on October 10 before playing against Finland three days later.
This squad will provide Carsley with more opportunities to assess players on the fringes of the national team as they adjust to life without Gareth Southgate.
