Defeat at home by Greece aside, Carsley has impressed England's top brass and in his six games at the helm he gave eight players their senior international debuts. With a host of regulars such as Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Phil Foden unavailable for his last two games in charge, Carsley gave opportunities to several players who he believes can be part of Tuchel's plans for the World Cup qualification campaign. "We'll debrief the three camps we've had, not just this camp," Carsley, who will return to his role with the under 21s, told reporters. "I'll put together a document, and then hopefully go meet (Tuchel) and present what we think and what we found. The job is for us as to support the senior manager as much as we can, find out what he needs and how we can help. "I'm looking forward to meeting him in the next few weeks." Carsley gave debuts to Curtis Jones, Lewis Hall and Morgan Rogers in the 3-0 win in Greece on Thursday and on Sunday Tino Livramento and Taylor Harwood-Bellis earned their first caps, the latter marking the occasion with a goal after coming on as a substitute in the second half. "The mentality that they showed to gain promotion from the Nations League, that potentially increases the pool of players that Thomas has got to choose from," Carsley said. "The challenge now for the players that have been involved for the last three camps is to be in around the March squad. A lot of them have done themselves a lot of good in terms of enhancing their reputations." Former Everton midfielder Carsley has also done himself no harm and received a glowing report from the Football Association's chief executive Mark Bullingham. "Lee has achieved the main objective from the six fixtures this autumn: securing promotion back to the top tier of the Nations League. He has selected some exciting new players and will be providing Thomas Tuchel and Anthony Barry with a very detailed handover as they start work on our qualifying campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup," he said. "The players have really enjoyed working with Lee and his team -- they have made a real impact in their interim roles." (Reporting by Martyn Herman; Editing by Toby Davis)
