Four new faces and Jack Grealish in England squad to face Republic of Ireland

Noni Madueke, Morgan Gibbs-White, Tino Livramento and Angel Gomes have received their maiden senior England call-ups for their upcoming Nations League games, including against Republic of Ireland.

Kyle Walker was conspicuous by his absence from interim boss Lee Carsley's first squad.

Former Ireland international Carsley has temporarily stepped up from his role as England Under-21s boss after Gareth Southgate left following July’s Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain.

Walker served as vice-captain in Germany and was an eye-catching omission from a squad for the Nations League doubleheader against Ireland and Finland that saw Carsley called up a number of the young players.

Uncapped Madueke, Gibbs-White, Livramento and Gomes have been included, while Harry Maguire and Jack Grealish return having been left out of the final Euro 2024 squad.

Jude Bellingham and Luke Shaw missed out through injury, while Kieran Trippier announced his international retirement before Thursday’s announcement.

Ben White, who turned down a call-up in March, remained absent despite the change in coaching staff.

There was no place for Euro 2024 squad members Ivan Toney, Aaron Ramsdale, Joe Gomez, Lewis Dunk and Adam Wharton.
