Diary

Thursday, 8 February 2024 - At the headquarters of UEFA at the Maison de la Mutualité, 24 Rue Saint-Victor, Paris, France. Serbia's Aleksandr Kolarov makes the draw of League B of UEFA Nation's League, and he pairs England with Republic of Ireland, Finland and Greece.

Thursday, 7 November 2024, 2.00pm - Lee Carsley has named his final 26-man squad for next week's Nations League preliminary matches. Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale returns, replacing Newcastle stopper Nick Pope. John Stones is not selected, with Newcastle full-back Lewis Hall and Southampton's Taylor Harwood-Bellis coming into defence. Curtis Jones replaces Kobbie Mainoo in midfield, while Carsley sticks with the seven forwards from his last squad, picking 26 players in total.

Sunday, 10 November 2024 - The Premier League programme has taken its toll on the participating squad players. Arsenal's Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka both had to be replaced because of picking up injuries. Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold was replaced in the first half and is likely to be sidelined for a number of weeks with a hamstring injury.

Monday, 11 November 2024 - The squad began arriving at St. George's Park.
7.00pm - Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers has been drafted into the senior squad from the under-21s along with Jarrad Branthwaite, Tino Livramento and James Trafford.  Also called up after initially missing out, is West Ham's Jarrod Bowen. They come after a record number of withdrawals. Eight in total have dropped out of Lee Carsley's final squad. Chelsea pair Levi Colwill and Cole Palmer, Arsenal pair Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, Manchester City pair Jack Grealish and Phil Foden, and Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale (fractured finger) are all apparently suffering with injuries.

Tuesday, 12 November 2024 - There are 23 players out training this morning at St. George's Park. Jarell Quansah has joined the session as Jarrad Branthwaite is working on an individual programme indoors.
Captain Harry Kane bemoans the withdrawals, insisting that 'England comes before club'.

Wednesday, 13 November 2024 - Once more, there are 23 players out training this morning. Jarell Quansah, again, has joined the session as Jarrad Branthwaite is still working on an individual programme indoors, during which there is a visit from former player, John Barnes.
The squad leave from Birmingham Airport, on board a 2Excel Aviation Boeing 737-76N (G-NEWG) (Call sign: BRO931A), departure was due at 2.45pm, to arrive at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos at 8.04pm.
In the press conference from Athens, Lee Carsley confirms that Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite has returned to his club, and Jarell Quansah, has taken his place on the plane and in the squad. Quansah trained with the first team this week, instead of Branthwaite.
