One of the names most people will be looking for on the squad list will be Arsenal defender Ben White.
White has not been involved in an England squad since leaving the World Cup in Qatar in 2022. He made himself unavailable for the remainder of Southgate’s tenure and it is unclear whether he has reversed that decision since Southgate left.
He has been part of an Arsenal defence that has pushed for the title the past two seasons, has been arguably England’s best right-back and has the ability to play centre-back, too.
There could also be some new faces at centre-back.
From the squad that went to Euro 2024, Joe Gomez has not featured for Liverpool and Carsley may opt for younger centre-backs in this next stage which could be hard on players such as Lewis Dunk.
Levi Colwill was an important part of Carsley’s Under-21 side that lifted silverware last summer and knows how the manager likes to play. He also can play at left-back which is a problem area for the England senior side.
Jarrell Quansah was named in Southgate’s training squad ahead of Euro 2024 and has played under Carsley in the Under-21s too.
An imposing defender and good on the ball, he could be another that is brought in.
Quansah was withdrawn by manager Arne Slot at half-time of Liverpool’s opening win at Ipswich but there is no questioning his quality.
It is likely Marc Guehi, one of England’s stars at Euro 2024, starts alongside Manchester City’s Stones for the first game.
Harvey Elliot has played a lot under Carsley and has spoken about how it would be “unbelievable” if he was named England manager.
The 21-year-old Liverpool midfielder has played just seven minutes for his club so far this season but is another option who knows how the interim head coach likes to play.
Morgan Gibbs-White could be another player who breaks into the senior squad for a possible debut.
The 24-year-old played five of the six games for Carsley in the Under-21’s winning campaign last summer and has stepped up to captain Nottingham Forest this season, scoring the winner in their last match.
