England interim boss Lee Carsley has called up two players to his squad after suffering multiple injury issues.

The Three Lions will resume their UEFA Nations League campaign over the next week as they take on Greece and Finland.

Prior to the match on Thursday, England suffered a triple injury blow as Morgan Gibbs-White, Ezri Konsa and Kobbie Mainoo all pulled out of the squad.

As a result, Liverpool star Curtis Jones and Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento have been added to Carsley’s senior squad.

A statement from the FA read: “Curtis Jones and Tino Livramento have been added to the England senior men’s squad.

“The pair checked in at St. George’s Park on Tuesday night ahead of the forthcoming fixtures against Greece and Finland.”

However, fans were left wondering why Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers was overlooked again.

One fan said: “Not Rogers??????”

Another tweeted: “Morgan rogers disrespect….”

A third fan added: “Rogers??”

The FA also gave an update on the fitness of key players Harry Kane and Jack Grealish, the statement continued: "Harry Kane continued his individualised programme at St. George’s Park on Wednesday while Jack Grealish also sat out of training as a precaution with a minor knock."

During his press conference, Carsley was asked about how he can fit all of England’s talented players into his team.

He said: “Like all of the players, it's a challenge with how many talented players we've got. We always want the right balance, who complements who in terms of the way we play.

“I try not to get too caught up in positions, I think about attributes and the way we can attack the opposition. All three are excellent players as are the rest of the squad.”

Carsley continued: “There were a lot of players who were close to this squad. With the talent we have available, it would have been possible to pick a 40-man squad and justify having them all in. The challenge is making sure we pick a competitive squad and a squad that can win the two games.”
