England ignore star absences to sink Greece

Cole Palmer, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Levi Colwill, Aaron Ramsdale and even Jarrad Branthwaite, who was a late call-up, all opted to withdraw from Carsley's squad.

Carsley's decision to leave Kane on the bench for the first 66 minutes before introducing him as a substitute was seen in some quarters as a rebuke for his uncharacteristically divisive comments. In truth, Kane may have been given a rest day.

But the stay-away players weren't missed as England's reserves powered to a victory that left them in control of their fate in Nations League Group B2. Ollie Watkins, deputising for Kane, gave England an early lead in the Olympic Stadium in Athens before an own goal from Greece keeper Odysseas Vlachodimos doubled the visitors' advantage.

Curtis Jones had benefitted from the England absences and marked his first England start with their third goal.
