England sweating on Jack Grealish and Harry Kane fitness as Lee Carsley calls up Tino Livramento and Curtis Jones to Three Lions squad ahead of Greece clash

Liverpool midfielder Jones and Newcastle's Livramento joined up with the squad at St. George's Park late on Tuesday ahead of England's upcoming fixtures against Greece and Finland. Their presence made up for the absence of Kane and Grealish, who missed Wednesday's team training session.

Kane missed out as he continued his individualised programme at England's training base. There are concerns that the 31-year-old isn't fully fit after he was forced off in Bayern Munich's most recent Bundesliga fixture, before missing England training on Tuesday. Grealish, meanwhile, has a minor knock and sat out of training as a precaution.

Carsley has already been dealt a blow with Kobbie Mainoo, Ezra Konsa and Morgan Gibbs-White all withdrawing from the squad through injury. Gibbs-White's inclusion had already upset some England fans who felt that Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers deserved a chance in the senior team.

Carsley's audition for the England job will continue with games against Greece and Finland on Wednesday and Sunday respectively. The Three Lions won both of last month's UEFA Nations League ties and will hope to continue their perfect start to the 2024-25 campaign this week.
