Following their recent disappointment in a major tournament, England prepares to face the Republic of Ireland in a UEFA Nations League fixture. England made it to the European Championship final but fell short, leading to Gareth Southgate stepping down as manager. Lee Carsley is now in an interim coaching role.
The Republic of Ireland, ranked 58th in the world, has a youthful squad under new head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson. Notable absences include Shane Duffy and Josh Cullen, while Kasey McAteer and Evan Ferguson are in contention.
