PHIL FODEN, Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins were all ruled out of England’s upcoming Nations League matches, their first games under interim manager Lee Carsley, the English Football Association said Tuesday.
England face the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Saturday before hosting Finland at Wembley three days later in League B.
Chelsea star Palmer, who scored in England’s Euro 2024 final loss to Spain, and Aston Villa striker Watkins have returned to their clubs with injuries.
Manchester City forward Foden did not join up with Carsley’s squad due to illness.
“No further additions are planned at this moment in time,” the association said in a statement.
The match against Ireland will be England’s first since Gareth Southgate’s eight-year reign as manager ended.
Carsley has been placed in temporary charge and he has given Noni Madueke, Morgan Gibbs-White, Tino Livramento and Angel Gomes their first call-ups.
Good manager that Rodgers lad.
Celtic are a step up from the LOI the SPL is muck they’ve no real competition in it
@Jamie: Bayern would have beaten over half the clubs in the EPL 3-0 as well
@Dave O’Hanlon: very true but you have to admit the standard of the SPL is poor
@Jamie: Eh Arsenal got hammered 5-1 twice last season by Bayern.. Bayerns squad is made up of World Cup and Champions league winners, there’s probably only 5 clubs in Europe who would even stand a chance of beaten them.. Put every single club in the EPL in the same group as Celtic and nearly every single one will come third, the same position Celtic will..
@David Garland: dosent change the fact the spl is crap celtic have no competition there, you could say the same about every league in europe and it would apply to your point here.
@Jamie: and a few steps down from bayern your expert analysis baffles
Celtic need to start Dembele in the next game against Bayern. I’m a massive fan of Griffiths who I think is a better finisher but Dembele has more in his locker to play up front on his own at this level. Once he came on Celtic created a few chances as he was able to control the ball whilst shrugging off Hummels and bring Sinclair into play.
We need to get over these poor starts also. Every game so far we’ve had a poor first half then have been a lot better in the second.
@Ciaran Rice: Celtic wud need to start Neymar,Ronaldo,Messi,Suarez in next game but suspect theyre cup tied!!
Mauling is a bit Much 3-0
Isn’t the worst result
Cliche ridden claptrap as usual from a wannabe big time manager
