England take on Greece and Finland as they look to maintain their perfect start to the Nations League. Lee Carsley is in interim charge and his tenure got underway with victories over Republic of Ireland and Finland during the last international break. Carsley has now brought uncapped pair Curtis Jones and Tino Livramento into his squad following three withdrawals.

Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones and Newcastle defender Tino Livramento have been added to the England squad for their upcoming Nations League matches.
Both players have been included in previous squads but remain uncapped.
Jones was called up by Gareth Southgate as part of the provisional squad for Euro 2024 but failed to make the final cut.
He struggled with injury at the start of this season but, after working his way back to fitness, he has now featured six times in all competitions for Arne Slot’s side.
Jones got his first Premier League start of the season in Liverpool’s last outing against Crystal Palace.
He has worked with Three Lions interim boss Lee Carsley before, having been part of the side that won the 2023 European Under-21 Championship under Carsley's direction.
Livramento is also hoping for his first taste of football in an England shirt, having been called up last month. He was an unused substitute in matches against Republic of Ireland and Finland.
Having come through Chelsea’s youth academy, Livramento moved to Southampton, where he spent two years, before he was signed by Newcastle in August 2023.
Full-back Livramento enjoyed a strong run in Eddie Howe’s starting line-up at the start of this season, but the Newcastle boss has preferred Kieran Trippier in recent weeks.
Earlier in the week, England announced that Kobbie Mainoo, Ezri Konsa and Morgan Gibbs-White had all withdrawn from their squad for the two games this month.
England host Greece at Wembley on October 10, before playing Finland in Helsinki on October 13.
In terms of wider squad health, Harry Kane has continued to train away from the squad after suffering an injury in Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Jack Grealish was also absent from the most recent training session with a knock.
