Dominic Solanke bridges seven-year gap to return to England squad

Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke has been called up to the England squad for games against Greece and Finland, but Eberechi Eze, Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford and James Maddison have been overlooked.

Solanke has not played for his country since featuring against Brazil in 2017, but has been named in interim boss Lee Carsley's 25-man squad for the Nations League games in the upcoming international break.

The 27-year-old has scored in his last three games for Spurs following his big-money summer move from Bournemouth.

Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, Kyle Walker and Ollie Watkins are back in the squad after missing last month’s games against Republic of Ireland and Greece.

But Crystal Palace’s Eze has been left out after a disappointing start to the season.

Maguire, Rashford and Maddison were all hoping for recalls but have not been chosen after mixed starts to their respective club seasons.

Carsley hinted he would freshen his squad up, but there are no uncapped players this time, with highly-rated Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers not picked.

Morgan Gibbs-White, Noni Madueke and Angel Gomes keep their places in the squad after their first-time call-ups last month.

Speaking at the squad announcement at St George’s Park, Carsley said: "Dom’s a player I’m fully aware of and worked with in the past – he was close to being in the last squad.

"He’s taken that form from Bournemouth into Spurs, he has a lot of attributes I like as well as being a nice person. He’s extremely talented and good we’ve got him.

"Like all of the players it’s a challenge with the squad we’ve got. We have so many talented players.

"We always look at finding the balance, who complements who in terms of how we play and don’t get caught up in positions,
