The Euro 2024 runners-up are this month starting life without Gareth Southgate, with Saturday’s trip to the Republic of Ireland followed by a home match against Finland three days later. Interim boss Carsley initially named a 26-man squad for the Nations League double-header, but the English Football Association has confirmed three players have withdrawn. In a statement, the FA body said: “Cole Palmer, Ollie Watkins and Phil Foden will play no part in England’s forthcoming Uefa Nations League fixtures.”Italian sprinter Alessandro Ossola fails to qualify for final but has win with proposal on trackThe FA statement continued: “The Three Lions squad reported to St George’s Park on Tuesday but, following assessment, both Palmer and Watkins returned to their clubs to continue rehabilitation for ongoing issues. “Foden did not report through illness and is ruled out of the matches against Republic of Ireland and Finland.
