**Captain Harry Kane Emphasizes National Duty Amid Player Withdrawals**

In a recent statement, England's captain Harry Kane highlighted the importance of prioritizing national duties over club commitments, following the withdrawal of nine players from the England squad. Interim manager Lee Carsley echoed this sentiment, stating that the remaining squad members have earned their place.

The Nations League action resumes with crucial fixtures involving Scotland and Northern Ireland on Friday, to be followed by Wales’ game on Saturday. Fans have been active in discussions about the ongoing debate over club versus country responsibilities and the implications of international breaks on players' fitness. Many appreciate Kane's viewpoint that players should give their all for their national team while also recognizing the demanding schedules athletes face.

England is gearing up for their first match of the November international break, which will be broadcast live on ITV 1 and ITV X. There's a collective sense of curiosity among fans regarding the Nations League—its format, promotion criteria, and the path to the final, with many admitting to not fully understanding the competition.

To clear up any confusion, the full squad of 23 players available for selection by Lee Carsley in Greece has been listed. The goalkeeping options include Dean Henderson from Crystal Palace, Jordan Pickford from Everton, and James Trafford from Burnley, reflecting an experimental edge given the recent withdrawals.

As the international fixtures approach, fans are eagerly waiting to see how the reshuffled squad performs on the field amid the ongoing discussions about players' commitment to their national teams.
