Interim manager Lee Carsley is hoping to win all matches of Group B to earn the top job full-time after already winning his first two games in charge against the Republic of Ireland and the Fins.
And it seems that Carsley will have his captain Harry Kane available as he showed up at St George’s Park with a big smile on Monday.
Kane hobbled off in the dying minutes of Bayern Munich’s 3-3 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
But the star striker appeared to be in a great mood as he hugged fellow superstar Jude Bellingham.
Real Madrid star Bellingham missed the previous international break due to a foot injury, which he has now fully overcome and is set to play under Carsley for the first time this week.
There were also worries about Chelsea duo Noni Madueke and Levi Colwill after Sunday’s Premier League match against Nottingham Forest but they were both present in Staffordshire.
Tottenham star Dominic Solanke received his first England call-up in seven years and was all smiles upon returning to the international fold.
Manchester City ace Jack Grealish and Arsenal star Declan Rice exchanged a warm embrace as they put their Premier League title rivalry on hold.
Bukayo Saka was also in his usual positive mood as he walked through the doors.
And the same goes for John Stones who will be hoping to start in defence against Greece and Finland.
England received a boost earlier today as the Greek national team will be without their top scorer in the Nations League, Fotis Ioannidis.
Ioannidis fractured his adductor during Panathinaikos’ crunch derby against rivals Olympiacos on Sunday and will be out for a month.
That means the striker will also miss PAO’s Conference League clash with Chelsea on October 24 at Athens’ Olympic Stadium, which will host the second leg between Greece and England on November 14.
