Jarell Quansah, Liverpool defender, has been called up to England’s senior squad when Jarrad Branthwaite returned to Everton owing to an injury.
Lee Carsley was slammed with eight withdrawals after naming his preliminary roster as he began his final tenure as interim head coach before the arrival of Thomas Tuchel, who will begin work in early January.
Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Levi Colwill, and Aaron Ramsdale all withdrew due to fitness issues, with Morgan Rogers, Jarrod Bowen, Tino Livramento, Branthwaite, and James Trafford coming in as replacements.

However, Carsley has revealed that Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite will not feature in England’s Nations League matches against Greece or the Republic of Ireland. According to 90 Min.
In his press conference, the former Toffees midfielder revealed: “We have tried to give Jarrad as much time as we can, but he is probably going to miss out, so Jarell will join the travelling party and participate in the rest of the camp.” I think it’s critical that Jarrad hasn’t trained.
“He has been treated for the past two or three days, and Everton will now handle the situation when he returns. We will never bet on a player’s fitness.
“It’s so important that they are fit and healthy and playing week in week out because that will help us in the future picking as strong a squad as we can.”
“It’s an excellent opportunity for Jarell”.
Injuries mean there are a number of uncapped defenders at Carsley’s disposal this month.
