Curtis Jones and Tino Livramento have been added in to Lee Carsley’s England squad.

The uncapped duo have joined up with the squad at St George’s Park after Kobbie Mainoo, Ezri Konsa and Morgan Gibbs-White pulled out due to injury.

Liverpool midfielder Jones and Newcastle defender Livramento have checked into St George’s Park ahead of England’s Nations League fixtures against Greece and Finland.

Both are still yet to win their first caps despite being called up to the senior fold in the past but the pair have played key roles for the Under-21s side under Carsley.

Jones, 23, was part of the Young Lions side who won the European U21 Championship in 2023, starting in five out of six games.

Livramento has moved across from the U21s side and can provide cover in both full-back positions.

The 21-year-old was named in England’s senior squad by Carsley last month but played no part in wins against Republic of Ireland and Finland.

Kane and Grealish injury news

England are monitoring the fitness of captain Harry Kane, who again trained alone on Wednesday.

The striker had to be withdrawn during Bayern Munich’s 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt over the weekend after an injury to his leg.

Kane’s injury could present a huge chance for Ollie Watkins or Dominic Solanke to stake their claim up front for the Three Lions.

Manchester City forward Jack Grealish also sat out of Wednesday’s session as a precaution after a “minor knock”.

England host Greece at Wembley on Thursday before travelling to Helsinki to face Finland next Tuesday.
