Ben White omitted as Lee Carsley names Ligue 1 star as one of four debutants in first England squad post-Gareth Southgate

Lille star Angel Gomes is one of four new call-ups to Lee Carsley’s first England squad.
Joining Gomes in being selected for the first time are Noni Madueke, Morgan Gibbs-White and Tino Livramento.
Interim England boss Carsley knows all about the quality of Gomes, Madueke and Gibbs-White, with the trio all featuring in the the Young Lions’ European Under-21 Championship success last year.
Levi Colwill and Cole Palmer, who were also part of Carsley’s squad that beat Spain 1-0 in the final, have also been selected in his Nations League side.
It will be the first time in eight years that the Three Lions will go into a match without Gareth Southgate in the dugout.
As talkSPORT told you, Arsenal star Ben White has missed out on selection.
But Carsley has recalled fellow full-back Rico Lewis back into the team.
Lewis’ only international outing came in November 2023 where he featured in a Euro 2024 qualifier against North Macedonia.
But having started in Manchester City‘s opening two Premier League victories, the 19-year-old has earned his England recall, where he will now be hoping to add to his caps next month.
His Citizens teammate Jack Grealish is also back in the squad following his Euro 2024 omission – despite playing just 19 minutes of football this term.
