England confirm two players added to Lee Carsley's squad after fresh injury concerns

England have announced that Curtis Jones and Tino Livramento have been added to their squad ahead of upcoming clashes with Greece and Finland.

The Three Lions have been hit with several setbacks in this international break so far, though the absences of several key players is expected to allow Lee Carsley to rotate his ranks further and experiment with his side.

The interim England manager is hoping to impress over the coming months as he looks to secure the position on a permanent basis and succeed Gareth Southgate, who left the role after leading the Three Lions to the final of the Euros over the summer.

Earlier this week, England announced that Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo, Nottingham Forest ace Morgan Gibbs-White and Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa would all miss the internationals this month due to injuries.

The trio all sustained fresh problems whilst representing their respective clubs over the weekend and they were therefore not fit to compete. Carsley has continued to lean on those who he has worked with at Under-21 level since being named England interim, and he has repeated that trend with his fresh call ups.

Newcastle’s Livramento, who was named in Carsley’s first England squad previously, and Liverpool playmaker Jones have therefore been added to his squad to face Greece at Wembley Stadium on Thursday. The Three Lions then travel to Helsinki to play Finland on Sunday afternoon.
