Earlier on Monday, the Three Lions were bo꧑osted by the confirmation that Harry Kane's injury against Eintracht Frankfurt was not serious, and he would be able to play a part in the October fixtures.

Konsa was a🦋lso forced off in the second half of that match🧸, having suffered a hamstring injury in the 0-0 draw.

Gibbs-White, who wa🦩s handed his senior England debut by the manager last month, also sustained his issue on Sunday, in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea. At under-21 level, the midfielder made 15 appearances under Carsley, with only six players featuring more under him.
