Confident England caretaker coach Carsley has full support from FA

Carsley's choice to abstain from singing the national anthem prior to the Nations League victory over the Republic of Ireland has caused a stir among some individuals in England.

But Carsley says he has the support of the FA: "I am really lucky with the people that are in charge and are my bosses.

"They know what my strengths are and aren’t gonna ask me to be anything I am not.

"My strength is coaching, being on the pitch. This (talking) isn’t my strength, what I am doing now.

"It’s something that I understand that comes with the job, as I saw yesterday (with the anthem controversy). I have my own way of doing it."
