But Ben White ’s England exile continues, while there was no return to the squad for Tottenham’s James Maddison. Angel Gomes of Lille is a shock inclusion, having starred for England at youth levels under the interim boss.
Carsley named his first squad since succeeding Gareth Southgate on a temporary basis , following the manager’s resignation in the wake of England’s defeat by Spain in last month’s Euro 2024 Final, with Chelsea winger Madueke making the cut.
Arsenal defender White returned home midway through England’s 2022 World Cup campaign in Qatar and has since made himself unavailable for selection , despite overtures from Southgate ahead of the Euros.
White’s situation is understood to remain the same, despite the change in England coaching staff, leaving Carsley to turn to other defenders for the Nations League games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland.
