Curtis Jones and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been added to the England team for two games next week.
For the Three Lions’ forthcoming UEFA Nations League games, the Liverpool duo was called up on Thursday.
On November 14, interim coach Lee Carsley leads his team to Greece. Three days later, they meet the Republic of Ireland at Wembley.
Among the three contenders to lead France during the forthcoming international break is Ibrahima Konaté
Ibrahima Konaté, 25, is one of three contenders being considered to lead France during the international break, according to RMC Sport. The absence of Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni of Real Madrid means that Les Bleus will not have a recognized captain for their next games.
The former Monaco midfielder is now sidelined with a sprained ankle that might keep him out of action for four to six weeks, and he is missing his second straight international break. Didier Deschamps appointed Tchouaméni vice-captain during the most recent international break.
Shortlist of three men As France gets ready to play Israel and Italy in the UEFA Nations League, the Liverpool defender is one of three players on the shortlist to be appointed the team’s stand-in captain. In the absence of the Madrid duo, Didier Deschamps is also considering N’Golo Kanté and Jules Koundé. The former Chelsea midfielder would provide the Les Bleus manager with a more seasoned choice, but that is not a top priority after giving Tchouaméni the vice-captain position.
