Solanke’s return
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of England’s squad announcement for the Uefa Nations League matches at home to Greece (next Thursday) and away to Finland on Sunday, October 13.
The headline news at the moment is that Dominic Solanke is set to earn a call-up, seven years after his only previous senior England appearance, as a substitute in a friendly against Brazil in November 2017 at Wembley.
The 27-year-old former Chelsea, Liverpool and Bournemouth striker has had an impressive start to the season after becoming Tottenham’s record signing in the summer.
The £55 million striker – who represented England from under-16 to under-21 level – has three goals from his first six appearances in Ange Postecoglou’s side.
We are also expecting to see the return of Cole Palmer and Jude Bellingham after they missed the first two Nations League matches of the season.
That likely means more disappointment for James Maddison, while there are also reports that Harry McGuire will be left out.
