Lee Carsley has handed maiden England call-ups to Lewis Hall and Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
Hall and Harwood-Bellis’ call-ups come after impressive performances from the pair for Newcastle and Southampton in recent weeks, with Manchester City’s John Stones dropped in defence.
Dean Henderson and Jordan Pickford have retained their places in the goalkeeping selection, but Aaron Ramsdale is back in the team for the first time following his move from Arsenal to Southampton this summer.
Newcastle United’s Nick Pope has consequently been omitted from the selection, whilst his club teammate – Tino Livramento has been snubbed in defence after he was a late call-up last month.
Kobbie Mainoo is the only player to drop out of midfield due to injury and has been replaced by Liverpool’s Curtis Jones, who has produced one goal and two assists in the last month for Arne Slot’s Reds.
Carsley has made no changes to his forward selection with Harry Kane and Dominic Solanke amongst those to retain their places.
England head to Greece knowing that defeat in Athens on 14 November at 21:45pm EET (19:45pm GMT) would see them miss out on promotion back to League A with a game to spare.
Irrespective of the result in Greece, Carsley’s reign will end on Sunday 17 November with a home game against Republic of Ireland at Wembley Stadium, London, at 5pm GMT, with both games live on ITV1 in the UK.
Thomas Tuchel will take formal charge from 1 January 2025 ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying, which begins in March.
