Lee Carsley is interim England manager

Lee Carsley has named his first England squad since being named as interim manager.

He has picked some young players who haven't played for England before, incuding Angel Gomes, Tino Livramento, Morgan Gibbs-White and Noni Madueke.

Carsley was appointed to the role following Gareth Southgate's resignation after Euro 2024.

England made it to the final but were beaten 2-1 by Spain and Southgate decided to step down shortly after.

England take on the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on 7 September (17:00 BST) and Finland at Wembley on 10 September (19:45) in the Nations League.

Who has made the England squad?

Angel Gomes was the first player born in the 2000s to appear in the Premier League

Manchester City's Jack Grealish, who was cut from England's Euro 2024 squad, has been recalled as well as Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.

Winger Gomes, who plays for French team Lille, Newcastle defender Livramento, Nottingham Forest midfielder Gibbs-White and Chelsea winger Madueke all played for Carsley during his time as England U21 manager.

Gomes, 23, helped England U21s win the European Championship in 2023 under Carsley and was the first player born in the 2000s to appear in the Premier League.

Brentford striker Ivan Toney, Manchester City defender Kyle Walker and Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who were all in the Euros squad, have been left out of the 26-man squad.

Arsenal defender Ben White is also not in after making himself unavailable for selection.

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw and Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham both miss out through injury, while United forward Marcus Rashford is not included.
