England’s interim manager, Lee Carsley, announced the Three Lions’ squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against Greece in Athens and Republic of Ireland at Wembley. Despite sitting in the second position in their UNL group, the Englishmen will undoubtedly be included in the first pot of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers draw thanks to their FIFA ranking. Still, Carsley will have much to prove, try to fix the situation and secure the promotion to the UEFA Nations League – League A.Tuchel upon arrival at Wembley: ‘I’m up for the task!’For the second time in a row, Manchester United have no representatives, while the penultimate team in the Premier League, Southampton, have as many as two!
