"In the back of my mind, I wanted to make sure it feels fresh. When you get that email or WhatsApp to say that you’ve been called up, it’s an achievement because it shouldn’t be something that is taken for granted. I thought it was important that it was not just a copy and paste. I want them to feel like they have earned their place in the squad."
"The players I’ve left out, I could make a case for them being in, but ultimately I have to make those decisions. The reality is you want a player to be coming in in top form and fighting for a position in the team."
"Carsley acknowledges the tough decisions ahead but emphasizes rewarding strong club performances and building a team ready for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers."
