Dominic Solanke has been called back to the England squad by Lee Carsley for their Nations League games against Greece and Finland. Solanke's previous call-up was in 2017 when he played for Liverpool, earning his only cap as a substitute against Brazil. Despite an injury at the season's start, he has impressed at Tottenham, scoring in his last three matches across all competitions.

Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, and Jude Bellingham also return to the squad after missing September's fixtures due to illness and injury. If Bellingham plays this international break, he could become second for most England appearances before turning 22, currently tied with Marcus Rashford at 36, behind Wayne Rooney's 40.

Kyle Walker is back in the team after being excluded from the last squad because of limited playing time. He could enter the top five for most England appearances at Wembley Stadium if he plays against Greece. Meanwhile, Harry Maguire, James Maddison, and Eberechi Eze have been omitted from the squad.

Lee Carsley expressed his familiarity with Solanke: "Dom's a player I'm fully aware of having worked with him in the past," said Carsley. "He was really close to being in the last squad but got injured just before selection. He did so well at Bournemouth, and now he's taken that form into Spurs. He's extremely talented, and it's good that we've got him."

The complete England squad includes Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Newcastle United), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Rico Lewis (Manchester City), John Stones (Manchester City), Kyle Walker (Manchester City).

Midfielders comprise Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Conor Gallagher (Atletico Madrid), Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest), Angel Gomes (Lille), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Cole Palmer (Chelsea).

The forwards include Declan Rice (Arsenal), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich). Noni Madueke and Bukayo Saka are from Chelsea and Arsenal respectively. Dominic Solanke represents Tottenham while Ollie Watkins is from Aston Villa.
