Trippier retires Walker left out Madueke gets call-up at start of England''s post-Southgate era

London, Aug 29 (AP) Kieran Trippier announced his retirement from England duty and Chelsea winger Noni Madueke was one of four uncapped players summoned on Thursday as interim coach Lee Carsley named his first selection since replacing Gareth Southgate.
     The 33-year-old Trippier, a right back at Newcastle, was one of Southgate's most trusted defenders in his eight-year tenure that came to an end when he stood down after England lost the European Championship final to Spain last month.
     Trippier's most famous moment in his 54 appearances for England came at the 2018 World Cup when he curled in a free kick to give his team the lead against Croatia in the semi-finals. England went on to lose the match 2-1.
     Trippier also started the European Championship final in 2021 when England lost a penalty shootout to Italy and played out of position at left-back, or left wing-back, for much of Euro 2024.
     Ahead of Nations League games against Ireland and Finland, there was no place for Kyle Walker, who hasn't started for Manchester City this season after Euro 2024.
     Ivan Toney, Aaron Ramsdale, Joe Gomez, Lewis Dunk and Adam Wharton also missed out after being in the squad for the tournament. Jude Bellingham and Luke Shaw were out because of injury.
     Carsley attempted to put his stamp on the group by calling up four newcomers, including Madueke after scoring his first hat trick for Chelsea at Wolverhampton on Sunday.
     Morgan Gibbs-White, Tino Livramento and Angel Gomes, who plays in France for Lille, were the others and they know Carsley from his time in charge of the England Under-21s.
     Harry Maguire and Jack Grealish returned after being left out of the final Euro 2024 squad, but Arsenal right-back Ben White, who turned down an England call-up in March, remained absent despite the change in coaching staff.
     The Football Association has said the plan is for Carsley to remain in the position “throughout the autumn.” Carsley said on Thursday he wasn't thinking about taking over the position full-time just yet. (AP) AYG
