Mason Greenwood won’t return to the Three Lions squad, England’s interim manager Lee Carsley said ahead of the match against Ireland on Saturday.In 2022, the former Manchester United forward was arrested and later charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. In 2023, these charges were discontinued by the Crown Prosecution Service after they revealed that they no longer had a “realistic prospect of conviction” due to the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that had come to light. The 22-year-old player has denied the allegations, and after a loan at Getafe, he joined Olympique Marseille.Interim England manager Lee Carsley says Mason Greenwood ‘isn’t a player that we can consider’.The former Manchester United forward has scored five goals in three games for Marseille this season.https://t.co/PAiZ4D1jU3📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube pic.twitter.com/ts5C5rQ3a0— Sky News (@SkyNews) September 6, 2024 Since those charges, Greenwood hasn’t earned a single international cap.

I’m aware of how he is doing, but he wasn’t under consideration,” said Carsley.UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE – GROUP STAGESaturday16.00: (4.20) Faroe I.
