Cumbrian goalkeeper Dean Henderson has been named in Lee Carsley’s second England squad.
The Crystal Palace No1, from Whitehaven, has retained his place in the Three Lions squad for UEFA Nations League games against Greece and Finland.
Henderson’s good form for the Eagles in the Premier League again earns him a place in the England goalkeeping ranks alongside Jordan Pickford and Nick Pope.
The 27-year-old former Carlisle United academy keeper has turned in some strong performances in the top-flight recently.
He starred against former club Manchester United in a 0-0 draw, his second clean sheet of the campaign for Oliver Glasner’s Palace.
Ready to go again. 🦁🦁🦁

Henderson has one full England cap to his name and will hope for another opportunity under interim boss Carsley.
England take on Greece on Thursday, October 10 at Wembley before facing Finland in Helsinki on Sunday, October 13.
There is no call-up for Henderson’s fellow Cumbrian Jarrad Branthwaite, the Everton defender having only just returned to action after a groin injury.
Carsley, meanwhile, has handed Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke his first call-up in eight years.
