Fans are calling for one axed player to be recalled after England's poor performance against Greece

Fans are calling for another player to be recalled to the squad by Lee Carsley after England's 2-1 defeat to Greece at Wembley.

Carsley suffered a surprise first defeat as England interim boss on Thursday night in the Nations League.

A brace from forward Vangelis Pavlidis secured a historic victory for Greece - their first over England in any senior competition.

The result placed further doubt over whether Carsley should be given the job full-time, with the 48-year-old deemed to be the favourite to replace Gareth Southgate on a permanent basis before kick-off.

He decided to start the game without a recognised striker, despite Dominic Solanke and Ollie Watkins both being in the squad.

Jude Bellingham instead started as a deep-lying forward, but the experiment did not work and Watkins was brought into the action on the hour mark.

Fans are now calling for another attacker to be brought back into the squad - Manchester United's Marcus Rashford.

Despite a poor 2023/24 season, Rashford has begun to show signs of his past form this term amid United's overall struggles.

And fans think he would be well-suited to the current setup under Carsley.

One wrote: "Need Marcus Rashford back in the England camp."

A second said: "He's probably more suited than half the team we keep trying to fit in."

A third added: "Marcus Rashford is still England's best LW option btw, does not matter who they play there."

And a fourth claimed: "Marcus Rashford has been and still is England's best option at left winger even through the troughs of his career. Let's have it right."

Rashford missed out on selection for England's provisional Euro 2024 squad and has yet to be picked in either of Carsley's squads since he was appointed as interim Three Lions manager.
