Lee Carsley is refusing to rule himself out of the England job but has admitted he expects to return to his U21 role.
Lee Carsley is refusing to rule himself out as Gareth Southgate's permanent successor but has admitted he expects to return to the England U21s. Carsley suffered his first defeat as interim boss at Wembley Stadium on Thursday evening, as Vangelis Pavlidis' double fired Greece to their first victory against England.
The former U21 head coach was without talisman Harry Kane due to injury but instead of playing alternative forwards such as Ollie Watkins or Dominic Solanke, he went without a recognised striker to lead the line. Anthony Gordon, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Cole Palmer all got forward sporadically in more flexible roles as England struggled to threaten throughout the Nations League meeting.
