Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire are back in the England squad, while Noni Madueke has been called up for the first time by Lee Carsley.

In a stunning turn of events, Manchester City’s Jack Grealish has made a triumphant return to the England squad for the upcoming Nations League clashes against the Republic of Ireland and Finland. After being left out of Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad, Grealish has spoken about the immense difficulty he faced in being excluded. However, under interim manager Lee Carsley, Grealish has been given another chance to shine on the international stage.

Joining Grealish in the squad is Manchester United’s Harry Maguire, who also suffered the disappointment of missing out on Euro 2024. Maguire’s inclusion is a testament to his undeniable talent and the belief that he can make a significant impact for the Three Lions.

Chelsea’s rising star Noni Madueke has been rewarded for his exceptional performances this season with his first call-up to the national team. Madueke’s recent hat-trick against Wolverhampton Wanderers showcased his immense potential, and his goal in the UEFA Conference League play-off tie against Servette further solidified his credentials. Alongside Madueke, Chelsea’s Levi Colwill has also earned a place in the squad, establishing himself as a key defender under the guidance of new manager Enzo Maresca.

The squad also features a number of younger players who have caught Carsley’s eye during his time managing the U21s. Tino Livaremento, Rico Lewis, Angel Gomes, and Morgan Gibbs-White have all been given the opportunity to showcase their talents on the international stage.

The England squad in full includes a formidable lineup of goalkeepers, with Crystal Palace’s Dean Henderson, Everton’s Jordan Pickford, and Newcastle United’s Nick Pope all vying for the starting spot. The defensive line boasts the likes of Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, Manchester City’s Rico Lewis, and Manchester United’s Harry Maguire, among others.

In midfield, the squad is bolstered by the presence of Manchester City’s Phil Foden, Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, and Arsenal’s Declan Rice, providing a strong foundation for the team. The forward line is equally impressive, with the likes of West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen, Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, and Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane leading the charge.

With this talented squad at their disposal, England will be looking to make a statement in the upcoming Nations League games. The inclusion of Grealish, Maguire, and the exciting young talents like Madueke and Colwill only adds to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the team. As they step onto the pitch, they will be driven by the desire to create history and achieve greater heights for both themselves and their country.
