Key talking points from England's November international break squad

Lee Carsley will oversee the last two matches as England’s interim manager.

Lee Carsley, the temporary manager of England, has revealed his team for this month’s Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.

England have fared decent under the interim manager and will hope to finish the on top of the table when they Greece and Ireland for their November matches. The Three Lions will then have Thomas Tuchel taking over the national team’s reigns after these two games.

Carsley has managed two wins against Finland and one against Ireland in his four League B Group 2 games, with a total of three wins and one loss. They are now three points below Greece in the rankings after suffering an unexpected home defeat.

Key talking points from England’s November squad

• Lewis Hall, left-back for Newcastle United who has been playing flawlessly so far this season, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, a centre-half for Southampton, have both received their first call-ups from Carsley. Harwood-Bellis is someone he recognizes from the Under-21 team. At the 2023 European U21 Championship, the former Manchester City youngster led England to victory as captain.

• Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker of Manchester City are unexpected additions considering that Grealish has been sidelined the past five matches due to injury and Walker has just recently recovered from a roughly two-week absence in October.

• As he leads his last international camp before Tuchel takes over in the new year, Carsley wants to end his tenure as interim England manager on a strong note. The 50-year-old continued by affirming that Tuchel had no say in his team selection, even though the German was set to take over as Gareth Southgate’s successor.

• Before Thomas Tuchel takes over, these will represent Carsley’s final games as manager. It is unclear when the former Chelsea manager will take over as manager of the Three Lions, though, as the upcoming England fixtures beyond November have not yet been announced.

• After missing the last international break in October due to injury, captain Harry Kane returns to the squad for the upcoming matches.

• No Manchester United players have been called up to the England squad
