England announce squad for November international break; Harry Kane to star

The Three Lions will face Ireland and Greece in the Nations League games.

For the upcoming UEFA Nations League games, Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Newcastle United full-back Lewis Hall have been given first call-ups by England interim manager Lee Carsley.

On November 14 and 17, respectively, the Three Lions will play Greece and the Republic of Ireland. Before Thomas Tuchel assumes full-time management in January 2025, this is Carsley’s last England team as interim manager.

“He [Tuchel] hasn’t had any influence on the squad selection,” said Carsley.

“I congratulated him via text. He is highly respectful of the job I am doing. I see this as a massive privilege, the trust the FA have placed in me and my team.”

The 22-year-old Harwood-Bellis helped Southampton get promoted following a season-long loan from Manchester City in the 2023–24 campaign before joining the Saints on a permanent basis last summer.

In the current campaign, he has had 13 appearances for Russell Martin’s team in all competitions, scoring three goals.

“They’re both players who have played a lot of minutes this season and have shown they can consistently play in the Premier League at a high level,” said Carsley.

“Players that I both know really well. I’ve known Taylor from Man City and captaining the under-21s, having a successful summer with promotion and playing in the Premier League week in and week out, he’s a player that really deserves it.

“He’s an outstanding captain and a brilliant example to the rest of the players in the under-21s squad.

“Lewis is a player who’s taken his time to settle in – he’s high quality, left-footed and a player who deserves to be in and has shown he can be really consistent.”
