Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka and Chelsea’s Cole Palmer are among eight players to have pulled out of the England squad due to injuries. This means they will take no part in England’s UEFA Nations League fixtures this month.

In a late Monday-night announcement titled “England Squad Updates: November 2024,” the English national football team confirmed major changes to its squad due to a wave of injuries. Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers has earned his first senior call-up, marking a significant milestone for the young forward.

Lee Carsley has seen his final squad as England interim manager ravaged by injuries and withdrawals after eight players pulled out of the games against Greece and Republic of Ireland.

Morgan Rogers has received his first senior England call-up, amid a spate of withdrawals for The Three Lions' Nations League games.

This will be Carsley’s last chance to work with the squad before Thomas Tuchel takes charge from January 1 and he said the German manager did not have any influence on squad selection.

The trio have been replaced by Southampton's Ryan Manning, Everton's Jake O'Brien and Wolves' Matt Doherty, who was dropped from the squad for their October fixtures
