Lee Carsley has announced that he has not yet had a conversation with Thomas Tuchel regarding the England squad that Tuchel will take over in the new year. As Carsley prepares for his final camp as interim head coach, he is focused on the upcoming Nations League matches against Greece in Athens next Thursday and the Republic of Ireland at Wembley three days later. In his latest squad announcement, Carsley has included left-back Lewis Hall and centre-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis, marking their first call-ups to the national team. Carsley emphasized that Tuchel respects his role as the current head coach and has not interfered with the selection process.

Lee Carsley, the interim manager of the England national football team, has acknowledged the challenge of fitting star players Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, and Phil Foden into the same starting lineup for the upcoming Nations League matches against Greece and Finland. Despite the difficulty, Carsley is committed to finding a creative solution to enable the trio to play together in the future. For the matches scheduled at Wembley against Greece next Thursday and the away game in Finland three days later, Carsley has successfully included all three players in his squad. This marks their return after missing the previous fixtures in September, where England secured victories over the Republic of Ireland and Finland. Bellingham and Palmer were sidelined due to injuries, while Foden was unavailable due to illness. Carsley also emphasized the importance of Harry Maguire to the team, despite his omission from the current squad.
