Noni Madueke among surprise names in Lee Carsley's first England squad

The core group from the Three Lions' 2024 European Championship campaign remains the same, with the likes of Harry Kane, Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka all featuring.

Chelsea winger Noni Madueke has been handed a surprise call-up, alongside Manchester City forward Jack Grealish.

Madueke has had a fine start to the season, netting a hat-trick in Chelsea's 6-2 thrashing of Wolves, while Grealish is still struggling for regular minutes at City.

Alongside Madueke and Grealish are surprise inclusions like Levi Colwill, Valentino Livramento and Rico Lewis as well as Nottingham Forests' Morgan Gibbs-White and Lille midfielder Angel Gomes.

Jude Bellingham misses out on the first international break of the season due to a knee injury suffered in training with Real Madrid - while there is no place for Ivan Toney who is yet to play for Brentford this season.

Defender Kieran Trippier announced his retirement from international football earlier on Thursday, while Kyle Walker was left out completely, alongside other Euro 2024 squad members Toney, Aaron Ramsdale, Joe Gomez, Lewis Dunk and Adam Wharton.

England are first in action against Ireland on Saturday, September 7th before facing Finland on Tuesday, September 10th.
