England’s interim manager, Lee Carsley, has seen eight players withdraw from his squad ahead of the upcoming internationals against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.
With the Three Lions aiming to secure promotion back to the UEFA Nations League top flight in the final two fixtures of this phase of the 2024/25 competition, Carsley is also overseeing his final two matches before Thomas Tuchel takes over as permanent manager in the New Year.
Of the original 26-player squad named last week, only 18 remain available. High-profile absentees include Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Cole Palmer, all of whom are major blows to England’s hopes. Additionally, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Levi Colwill, and Aaron Ramsdale have also pulled out.
