The uncapped Curtis Jones and Tino Livramento have been called up to the England senior squad ahead of October’s Nations League fixtures against Greece and Finland.
The additions bring Lee Carsley’s squad up to 24 players following Monday’s withdrawals of Kobbie Mainoo, Morgan Gibbs-White and Ezri Konsa due to injury.
Liverpool midfielder Jones and Newcastle United full-back Livramento both reported to St George’s Park on Tuesday evening, with Livramento moving across to the senior team from the under-21 squad.
Both players have received senior call-ups before. Jones, 23, was first selected by Gareth Southgate for the 33-man preliminary squad ahead of the 2024 European Championship, while Livramento, 21, earned his first call-up from Carsley last month. However, neither has yet made their senior debut.
The pair have worked with England’s interim head coach Carsley in his previous role with the under-21s, and Jones was part of England’s 2023 Under-21 Euro-winning squad.
Ahead of Thursday’s fixture against Greece, captain Harry Kane has continued working on an individualised programme after having tests on a knock he picked up in Bayern Munich’s 3-3 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday. Manchester City’s Jack Grealish also sat out of training with a minor knock.
Carsley’s team will then travel to Helsinki to face Finland on Sunday. England started the group stage with victories over both the Republic of Ireland and Finland last month.
