Carsley, who played for the Republic of Ireland, spent three years as England’s Under-21s boss after his appointment in 2021.
Six members of Carsley’s first squad – Gomes, Madueke, Gibbs-White, Cole Palmer, Anthony Gordon and Levi Colwill – won the Under-21 European Championship under him in 2023.
Gomes, 23, left Manchester United for Lille in 2020. At United, he had broken into the first team in 2017, aged 16 years 263 days, the youngest player to make his debut from the club since Duncan Edwards in 1953.
“Angel is very technical, he controls the game with his skill and his technique. He is very determined, has a great attitude and loves football,” Carsley said.
“I think he is a player people will be excited to see.”
Gomes was taken to hospital on 17 August after suffering a head injury in a Ligue 1 fixture against Reims. He later said he was “all good” after receiving treatment.
Gibbs-White, a regular under Carsley in the Under-21 set-up, has also been handed his first cap following his impressive start to Nottingham Forest’s Premier League campaign.
“Morgan is a very attacking player, full of energy, very creative, very exciting,” said Carsley.
“He has been really successful with England and I thought that was important.”
