BBC Sport takes a look at the players interim boss Lee Carsley has fast-tracked into the England squad for the upcoming Nations League matches.
A flurry of withdrawals from senior players has hit interim England manager Lee Carsley's plans for his final two games in charge this week.And for players and fans, these two games represent a strange 'limbo' period before new head coach Thomas Tuchel takes over in January.
Carsley said he would put "his own stamp" on the England squad during his time as interim boss and "freshen it up" with each get-together. He has certainly done that. England need to win these two matches to earn automatic promotion back to the top level of the Nations League and ensure Tuchel's first game is not a Nations League play-off rather than the World Cup qualifier he says he has planned for.
Jones was named in the pre-Euro squad in June last year but did not make the cut and has been called up to the senior squad when there have been pull-outs in the past. Gareth Southgate's gamble on Luke Shaw's fitness for the Euros - and having to use the right-footed Kieran Trippier instead - was one of the biggest talking points for fans.
