England interim head coach Lee Carsley has given Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Newcastle full-back Lewis Hall their first senior call-ups for the team’s final two Nations League fixtures.
Harwood-Bellis, 22, was captain of England’s under-21 side during Carsley’s time in charge and has played in every game for Southampton in the Premier League this season as they sit 19th in the table after 10 matches.
Hall, 20, has established himself as Newcastle’s first-choice left-back this season after completing a permanent move to St. James’ Park in the summer. He spent last season on loan with Eddie Howe’s side, making 22 appearances in all competitions and scoring two goals.
However, there was no place in Carsley’s squad for Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers who has become a key player for Unai Emery.
Carsley’s team will face Group B2 leaders Greece in Athens on Nov. 14 before rounding off their Nations League campaign by hosting Republic of Ireland at Wembley on Nov. 17.
Tuchel was confirmed as England’s next permanent head coach on Oct. 16 and will lead the country into the 2026 World Cup, hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States. The 51-year-old will start work on Jan. 1, 2025 and will be assisted by Anthony Barry, with whom he worked at Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
