Kyle Walker has 90 caps for England and was vice-captain during their run to the Euro 2024 final.

The right-back missed Manchester City's opening games of the season as he recovered from his summer's exertions with England in Germany.

Walker, 34, said on his BBC podcast "You'll Never Beat Kyle Walker" that his omission from Lee Carsley's last England squad was "the right call" but added that he would aim to prove the interim head coach wrong.

England's interim head coach Lee Carsley on Kyle Walker's return to the squad: "We spoke before the last squad announcement, when he literally hadn't played a minute for Manchester City. He's a player we're looking forward to having back.

"I've never worked with him but I think what he's done in the past for England, he's a player that I'm sure can help our younger players as well."

England's interim head coach Lee Carsley on the permanent manager's position: "It's really clear what my remit is, to take these three camps in the Nations League, which is something I'm really comfortable doing. I'm totally happy with that.

"My situation hasn't changed and I'm really looking forward to this camp now. It was a real challenge, picking the squad, the players that we've had to leave out. That's a big enough challenge without worrying about [managerial] candidates and the rest of it."

England's interim head coach Lee Carsley on Dominic Solanke: "Dom's a player I'm fully aware of having worked with him in the past. He was really close to being in the last squad but got injured just before selection.

"He did so well at Bournemouth and now he's taken that form into Spurs. He's got a lot of really good attributes that I really like, as well as being a really nice person. He's extremely talented and it's a good that we've got him."

England

England's interim head coach Lee Carsley said that the players left out all have a case to be in the squad but said it was "important that it wasn't just a copy and a paste".

He added that he had made it clear to those players left out, including the likes of experienced players, such as Harry Maguire, that this was a short-term decision and they could work their way back into reckoning.

England's interim head coach Lee Carsley on trying to fit Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham into the same starting line-up: "It's a challenge with the squad that we've got, we've got so many talented players.

"We always look at finding the right balance, who complements who in terms of the way that we play. I try not to get too caught up in positions, it's more the attributes and the way we can potentially attack the opposition. All three are excellent players, as are the rest of the squad."

Rob in Brighton: Celtic’s high press and expansive play was ruthlessly exposed by Dortmund this week, but Brendan Rodgers said after the game that he would not alter the team’s style of play. This style brings success more often than not for Celtic domestically, and was effective against Slovan Bratislava, but does there need to be flexibility in their style of play to have more success against higher quality teams?

Nedum: The game vs Dortmund is a very interesting one as I don’t believe they played as badly as the result would suggest. But obviously the result matters most.

I think Rodgers has assembled a team which likely plays to its strengths when they use that expansive style. Changing it at times certainly shouldn’t be frowned upon but as a coach I’d imagine consistency will be more beneficial long term for buy in from the players.

Each game is obviously different in terms of how the opposition will play and how good they are but days like that against Dortmund are really few and far between and so for me, I wouldn’t use it as a reason to change. Yet.

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe is a notable omission from the France squad for their next two matches, against Israel and Belgium.

Mbappe made a substitute appearance for Real Madrid in their Champions League defeat to Lille on Wednesday after returning from injury.

Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku has been selected for the first time since June 2023 as one of six Premier League players in the squad.

James: Hi Nedum. Who would you like to see named in the next England squad who wasn't in the last one? Is there anyone from the U21s who you think merits a place, maybe Adam Wharton after his performances last season or one of our young centre-back options like Jarrad Branthwaite and Jarell Quansah?

Nedum: I’d love to see lots of those U21s get their chance but it’s also a wonder about well, who should be left out?

I think in time, Quansah and Branthwaite will play but in this next international break. I would like to see Morgan Rogers get an opportunity. His start to the season and life in the Premier League overall has been special, and I think he’d be a popular selection.

Before we hear about the England squad, here's an update from West Ham's news conference, with manager Julen Lopetegui giving some team news: "We have the [Niclas] Fullkrug injury. He's not available. The rest are ready."

On pressure having not won a home match this season in the Premier League: "Our job is to live under this kind of pressure. We want to win and we haven't done that yet at home. We are working to try to win this match against Ipswich. This is our main aim."

"A lovely day at St George's Park with England interim head coach Lee Carsley revealing his next squad at 14:00 BST," writes BBC Radio 5 Live's Gary Flintoff on X, external.

Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke is expected to be called up by interim head coach Lee Carsley for the latest England squad.

It will be the first time in seven years that Solanke will be involved with the Three Lions after his first and only appearance came in 2017 in a friendly with Brazil.

The 27-year-old has scored three goals in six appearances for Spurs since signing from Bournemouth in a £65m deal.

Bologna were the better team, they did brilliantly after the first 10, 15 minutes when they looked a bit overpowered.

The courage with which they played, they kept putting the pressure on Liverpool. This is a team that lost two of its key players in the summer, lost its manager to Juventus, and is showing signs under Vincenzo Italiano of becoming a competitive team again.

But the problem Italiano seems to have is really nice football but no cutting edge. That is what probably happened to Bologna.

Keep your questions coming!

Captain Harry Kane is excited about the depth of England's attacking talent ahead of linking up with the Three Lions squad next week.

The Bayern Munich striker is fit to be included in interim head coach Lee Carsley's squad for the Nations League games against Greece and Finland.

Cole Palmer, Ollie Watkins and Phil Foden all withdrew from duty due to injury in September but should return while Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke is rumoured to be in Carsley's squad this time.

Kane shook off an ankle injury to play 90 minutes in Bayern's 1-0 Champions League defeat at Aston Villa on Wednesday.

"We have a lot of great competition for places in that area, especially from a striker’s point of view, that is great to see," he said. "That is what you want. The manager has got a headache, that’s for sure.

"We have some great talent in the country. Everyone is playing at a really high level, in big games, in big moments, and it will be interesting to see who will be there next week.

"From an England point of view, it is great to see everyone doing well."

Pat, Watford: Hello Nedum. With all the attention yesterday on Aston Villa beating Bayern, and rightly so, Liverpool picked up another win. Seem to be going under the radar in Champions League, and with the main focus in the Premier League on Man City and Arsenal, Liverpool have quietly gone top… Just how far or how successful do you think Liverpool could be this season?

Nedum: That’s a really good question. Talent wise, they’re as good as City and Arsenal in my opinion and their start has been really impressive. But that’s more so because we didn’t know what they would look like with their new manager.

We now see familiar faces shining and it’s feels like something we’ve felt before.

I imagine most people are just wary of overreacting but I imagine they’ll be there or thereabouts when trophies are being played for come the end of the season… with continued good health of that talented squad they have.
