Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke has been called up for the first time in SEVEN YEARS.

He currently has just one cap in a friendly against Brazil in 2017.

On the decision to select Solanke, Carsley said: “Dom is a player I am fully aware of and have worked with in the past.

“He was very close to being in the final squad – but he got injured just before he was selected.

“He’s a player who was so good at Bournemouth and he’s taken that form at Spurs.

“He has a lot of good qualities that I like, and apart from being a good person, he’s extremely talented and it’s good that we got him.”

The player himself was delighted, writing on Instagram: “It’s been a long time. I’m delighted to be called back to represent my country.”

Meanwhile, Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker has earned a recall after being left out of Carsley’s first games as boss last month.

The manager continues to select players who have worked with him at under-21 level, with Levi Colwill, Angel Gomes, Morgan Gibbs-White and Noni Madueke selected.

Among those missing from the squad is Manchester United’s Harry Maguire.

The centre-back has been nursing a calf injury and missed the Red Devils’ 3-0 defeat by Tottenham on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Spurs midfielder James Maddison, Crystal Palace ace Eberechi Eze and West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen are not in the squad.

Ivan Toney is also out of the squad after moving from Brentford to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahli.

Tino Livramento was selected last time out but was dropped after failing to win his first title in wins over Ireland and Finland last month.

Aston Villa ace Morgan Rogers has been pushing for a place in the England squad but will have to wait for his debut call-up.

On the players left out, Carsley said it was “important that it wasn’t just a copy and paste” from his previous team and that all the players left out had a case.

He added: “There are a lot of players who were close to being in this squad. The talent at our disposal, it would be very easy to name a 40-man squad and justify everyone being there.”

“The challenge is to make sure we pick a competitive team that can win two games.”
