England interim boss Lee Carsley says everyone in the Three Lions squad has a chance of playing against Finland on Tuesday.
Carsley coached his first win since temporarily taking over from Gareth Southgate against the Republic of Ireland, the nation he represented during his playing days.
But the former Under-21s coach will be looking to make it six points from six in September when Finland travel to Wembley for a UEFA Nations League match.
