England look to bounce back in the Nations League this evening as they travel to Helsinki to take on Finland.
England suffered a terrible 2-1 defeat at the hands of Greece at Wembley on Thursday.
Greece rank 44 places below England in the Fifa world rankings but they were deserving winners, their first win at Wembley in 10 attempts and the first time they had ever scored there.
Thursday’s defeat did Lee Carsley’s chances of becoming the permanent England manager no favours and, according to a Telegraph Sport exclusive, Carsley has decided he does not want the job.
Carsley suggested after the defeat to Greece that he would be happy to return to his job with the Under-21’s.
“I was quite surprised after the last camp [that there was talk] in terms of ‘the job is mine’ and ‘it’s mine to lose’ and all the rest of it,” he said.
It is something that didn’t come off but I don’t think we should rule out having that opportunity to try something different.”
Captain Harry Kane missed the Greece defeat after picking up a knock for Bayern Munich just before the international break but he could return tonight.
Jack Grealish also missed the game against Greece but both trained on Friday and are in contention.
Curtis Jones has also withdrawn from the squad due to a personal commitment.
The defeat on Thursday night leaves England second in League B Group 2, now three points behind leaders Greece.
Finland have lost all three games so far, including a 2-1 defeat against the Republic of Ireland on Thursday night.
