Hide AdThe Three Lions are currently top of their group, and they will go up against an unbeaten Greece side next time out. A number of players will get the chance to impress, with Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke getting his chance to impress, but there is surprisingly no place for James Maddison despite his impressive start to the campaign.
Palace stars Dean Henderson and Marc Guehi have both received the nod, as expected, with Chelsea’s Levi Colwill, Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke included. Arsenal’s Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka make the cut.
The full squad is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson, Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope.
Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Levi Colwill, Marc Guehi, Ezri Konsa, Rico Lewis, John Stones, Kyle Walker.

Forwards: Anthony Gordon, Jack Grealish, Harry Kane, Noni Madueke, Bukayo Saka, Dominic Solanke, Ollie Watkins
Solanke gets the nod
Carsley has said of Solanke’s inclusion: "Dom is a player I am fully aware of and I have worked with him in the past. He was really close to being in the last squad - but he got injured just before the selection.

Along with Maddison, Eberechi Eze, Jarrod Bowen and Ivan Toney are among the big omissions from this squad, with the latter likely to struggle for call-ups following his Saudi Arabia move.
