In England, Noni Madueke has been declared fit to participate in the upcoming Nations League fixtures after an injury scare during a Premier League match against Nottingham Forest. The incident occurred when Madueke had to be carried off the field due to a foot problem sustained in a chaotic moment towards the end of the game. Despite this, he is available to play against Greece or Finland, which is a significant boost for interim manager Lee Carsley. Madueke's impressive performances for Chelsea this season earned him a spot on the national team, where he previously made his debut in September, contributing to a victory against Finland. His recent goal against Nottingham Forest, which equalized the match, showcased his importance to the team and his connection with head coach Enzo Maresca, who had recently challenged him to improve his scoring. Alongside Madueke, Harry Kane has also been cleared to play despite an injury scare from his club match with Bayern Munich. However, the squad has seen withdrawals from players like Kobbie Mainoo, Ezri Konsa, and Morgan Gibbs-White, with Carsley opting not to replace them, indicating a reliance on the remaining squad members for the upcoming matches.
