Latest Finland vs England team information
Carsley hopes Harry Kane can at least make the bench on Thursday, but his absence from Bayern Munich makes his chances of playing in Scandinavia difficult. Kane will only be available if he passes a fitness test, while Carsley could consider starting Dominic Solanke or Ollie Watkins, potentially leaving Phil Foden out.
Mikel Arteta may have a worry after Bukayo Saka was forced off early in the second half with a hamstring injury against Greece; this could open up the possibility of Cole Palmer or Noni Madueke starting. Kyle Walker, Marc Guehi and Conor Gallagher could also be included in the squad, while Jack Grealish remains a doubt after missing the previous game with a minor injury.
Finland have no fitness concerns following their defeat to Iceland, although Sparta Prague's Kaan Kairinen withdrew through injury ahead of the international break. Kanerva's decision to start Pohjanpalo over Teemu Pukki has been vindicated, although the MLS-based striker could be in contention for a start this weekend.

Latest football commentary Finland vs England
Following the tragic death of former defender George Baldock at the age of 31, Greece requested that their match against England at Wembley on Thursday be postponed. However, the match went ahead just 24 hours after his death. Despite the grief, Greece played well and secured their first win over the Three Lions thanks to a second-half brace from Vangelis Pavlidis.
Jude Bellingham equalised for England, but no one could say they deserved the points, with Greece having goals disallowed and constantly attacking Carsley's defence. England are now three points behind Greece and second in League B Group 2, just in the race for promotion/relegation. They will be looking to avoid back-to-back defeats for the first time since June 2022.
Carsley insists he will continue to play without a striker, despite the tactic not yielding the results he had hoped for. A return to his usual formation will be necessary against struggling Finland, who have yet to pick up a point in their September fixtures. Finland took the lead against Ireland at one stage through Joel Pohjanpalo, but were beaten in the second half.
The team are currently bottom of League B Group 2 after three straight defeats and have yet to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games. England, meanwhile, have won 10 of their 12 meetings with Finland, but Carsley is still under pressure as manager. Finland’s form has been on the wane, but England will need to be cautious and respond strongly to deny their opponents any hope of a top-two finish.
