Lee Carsley has called up uncapped quartet Noni Madueke, Angel Gomes, Morgan Gibbs-White and Tino Livramento for England's Nations League games against Republic of Ireland and Finland.

Chelsea forward Madueke, Lille midfielder Gomes, Nottingham Forest's Gibbs-White and Newcastle defender Livramento all played for Carsley in England's U21s.

The interim boss, naming the first England squad since Gareth Southgate's departure after Euro 2024, has also recalled Jack Grealish, Harry Maguire and Nick Pope, but Marcus Rashford, Kyle Walker and Ivan Toney are among those left out.

Arsenal's Ben White remains absent while Newcastle's Kieran Trippier is also omitted having announced his international retirement shortly before the squad was announced. Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham misses out through injury.

Aaron Ramsdale, Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, Adam Wharton and the injured Luke Shaw are also cut from the squad that went to the Euros, but Rico Lewis and Levi Colwill, who have one cap each, are included in a defensive unit which includes Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold's inclusion as a defender rather than a midfielder is another talking point but the biggest surprise is the inclusion of the four uncapped players Carsley worked with during his three-year spell in charge of England's U21s.

"It was important to put my own stamp on the squad, but also recognise how well they have done in the past," said Carsley. "We've been so close a couple of times.

"We have to recognise that but I thought it was important that we put some fresh faces in and put our own little mark on the squad."

Madueke's inclusion comes after he fired a hat-trick in Chelsea's 6-2 thrashing of Wolves on Sunday. Livramento, meanwhile, is included having usurped Trippier as Eddie Howe's first-choice Newcastle right-back this season.

Gibbs-White's call-up follows his goal in Nottingham Forest's 1-0 win over Southampton on Saturday while Manchester United academy product Gomes, 23, gets a chance having earned positive reviews for his performances with Lille in France.

Gomes, like Colwill, Gibbs-White, Madueke and Anthony Gordon, was part of the U21 squad that won the U21 European Championship under Carsley last year.

England's Nations League opener sees them take on Republic of Ireland at 5pm on Saturday September 7 before facing Finland at Wembley on Tuesday September 10 at 7.45pm.
