Interim boss Lee Carsley has named his first England squad ahead of their fixtures next month.

Carsley, who oversaw the under-21s team, replaced Gareth Southgate following this summer's Euro 2024.

He has been put in temporary charge as the FA continues its search for a permanent manager.

Ashley Cole, Joleon Lescott and Tim Dittmer have been appointed as assistants to Carsley.

The trio all worked alongside the former Everton midfielder for the under-21s and were part of the squad that won the 2023 U21 Euros.

England enter a new era with two UEFA Nations League games on deck in September.

They travel to Dublin to face Ireland on September 7 before hosting Finland at Wembley Stadium on September 10.

And Carsley has named his squad for the two Nations League matches.

Manchester City's Jack Grealish returns to the fold after being left out of the Euro 2024 squad while Noni Madueke, who scored a hat-trick in Chelsea's win over Wolves, is handed his first senior call-up.

It's also another first senior call-up for Morgan Gibbs-White, Angel Gomes and Tino Livramento, who has impressed at Newcastle United.

Kyle Walker, Luke Shaw, Adam Wharton, Lewis Dunk and Ivan Toney have all missed out, having been named in Southgate's Euro 2024 squad.

There's also no place for Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham, who is injured.

Here's the squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope, Sam Johnstone.

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Levi Colwill, Marc Guehi, Ezri Konsa, Rico Lewis, Tino Livramento, Harry Maguire, John Stones

Midfielders: Phil Foden, Conor Gallagher, Morgan Gibbs-White, Angel Gomes, Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer, Declan Rice

Forwards: Jarrod Bowen, Eberechi Eze, Jack Grealish, Anthony Gordon, Harry Kane, Noni Madueke, Bukayo Saka, Ollie Watkins

England's game against Ireland will be their first match since their crushing defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024.

They beat Slovakia, Switzerland and the Netherlands to reach their second consecutive Euros final.

But the Three Lions fell at the final hurdle, losing 2-1 to Spain in Berlin.

Shortly after the tournament, Southgate called time on his eight-year spell as England manager.

Carsley, Graham Potter, Eddie Howe and Pep Guardiola are among the favourites to succeed Southgate on a full-time basis.
