Interim coach Lee Carsley insists Harry Maguire is still “important" to England, and that leaving him out of his latest squad was nothing to do with form.

England interim coach Lee Carsley has insisted that Harry Maguire still has "a really important part to play" for his country, despite the centre-half being dropped from the latest squad.

Dominic Solanke has been recalled to the England squad by Lee Carsley, seven years after winning his first and only cap in a friendly against Brazil. The 27-year-old striker has been rewarded for his impressive form at Tottenham after joining from Bournemouth in a £55 million (€65 million) summer deal.
