Newcastle United ace set for England debut as he joins £44m duo in Three Lions squad after Trippier decision
Three Newcastle United players have been included in Lee Carsley’s first England squad after Gareth Southgate’s exit
Newcastle United right-back Tino Livramento has been awarded his first ever senior England call-up after team-mate Kieran Trippier’s bombshell decision to retire from international duty.
Trippier earned 54 caps for England between 2017 and 2024 and represented his country at four major tournaments - reaching two European Championship finals, one World Cup semi-final and a World Cup quarter-final.
The experienced defender played six times for the Three Lions at left-back during this summer’s Euros, but is best remembered for his free kick goal against Croatia in the semi-final of the 2018 World Cup.
The 33-year-old, who is heavily linked with a move away from St James’ Park this summer after being dropped in the opening two league games, has ironically passed the baton on to Livramento, who started ahead of the veteran in right-back role during games against Southampton and Bournemouth.
Livramento, who has nine caps at U21 level, joins Magpies duo Anthony Gordon and Nick Pope in the list of Newcastle United players to be included in Lee Carsley’s new-look England squad. Newcastle-linked winger Noni Madueke has also been handed his first senior call-up after a bright start to the season which saw him score a first Premier League hat-trick in a 6-2 away victory at Wolves at the weekend.
The Chelsea youngster joins Lille’s Angel Gomes and Nottingham Forest ace Morgan Gibbs-White in the list of youngsters to make the squad for the first time. The trio, alongside Gordon, formed part of Carsley’s U21 team which reigned supreme at the European Championships in 2023, it marked the team’s first triumph since 1984 as they became the first team in history to win the tournament without shipping a single goal.
England take on Republic of Ireland and Finland in next month’s Nations League matches as Carsley looks to make his mark at senior level.
