Elsewhere in the squad, it’s set to be a special match for captain Harry Kane, w൩ho will be handed his 100th cap against Finland – becoming the 10🥃th player Englishman to reach the milestone.

The 31-year-old made his international debut back in March 2015 against Lithuania and has since becomওe his nation’s all-time top goalscorer.

Kane also started against the Republic of Ireland on the weekend, althoughℱ it was the returning duo of Jack Grealish and Declan Rice who grabbed the 🅷goals for the away side.

England were 2-0 winners against the Boys in Green on Saturday, although Simon Jordan wasn’t happy with Rice’s reaction to his goal.

A shake-up in midfield is also p🍎redicted, with Lille’s Angel Gomes replacing Manchester United🍒 youngster Kobbie Mainoo.

England eye UEFA Nations League promotion

While there are bigger tests to come for England,ꦯ Carsley will be determined to help the Three Lions return to League A of the UEFA Nations League. To do so, they must top Group B2 ahead of the Republic of Ireland, Greece and Finland.

Greece currently top the group after beating Finland 3-0 on Saturday, and wi෴ll play the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Tuesday night.

Speaking of his selection policy for the Finland test, Carsley stated on Monday (via the ): “We’ll make two or three changes, freshen the team up a bit. I’m looki⛄ng forward to th𝓰e game. If you make 11 changes, it maybe sends out the wrong signal. I don’t see wholesale changes.

“Some players are still in that pre-season phase given their time off over the s🅷ummer, so we have to manage that.”

Crucially for the England manager, there are no fresh injury concerns ahead of Tuesday’s game, wꦰith all 23 players training on Monday.
