draws against Germany, England ends all the matches before the World Cup. So a real question is facing Southgate. Which 26 players will he recruit?
Since Southgate announced the list for September, controversy has been going on. Southgate also left many questions about the two games in Italy and Germany, such as whether he should give Arnold a chance to play? Why not give Tomori a chance to play? After recruiting Ivan Tony, why did you let Kane start both games in ?
The biggest question is, what will Southgate's World Cup lineup look like?
In the goalkeeper position, Southgate has no doubts. Pickford, Ramsdale and Pope, who made mistakes in in the match against German , will be included in the 26ers' roster. The only question is who will serve as the second goalkeeper.
On the back line, Southgate's choice is whether to recruit Arnold and Tomori . "Mirror" reporter Richards pointed out, "Arnold is only the fourth choice in the right-back position, you cannot consider recruiting 4 players in the same position."
"In the fifth central defender position, it will be the competition between Geith and Tomori. However, Southgate may only recruit four central defenders." John Cross believes that Southgate even has the possibility of recruiting only 10 defenders and adding one forward.
In the midfield, Rice, Henderson , Mount, Bellingham will definitely be selected, Calvin Phillips will definitely be selected, but in Manchester City , he will not get the chance to play and undergo shoulder surgery, which makes him lose.
Once he cannot recover in time, then Ward-Prowse is expected to replace it. In addition, Southgate may also call in Phillips and Ward Prowse at the same time.
In the frontcourt, Abraham, Forden , Kane, Saka, Stirling will definitely be selected, but the competition for other places is quite fierce. The media generally believes that if the current state of Manchester United is continued, then Rashford and Sancho are expected to return to the national team, and Bowen and Ivan Tony will lose their chances.
Samuel Mead pointed out, "Rashford and Sancho are expected to be selected at the last moment, which will make Gralish a victim."
John Cross prediction England 26-man lineup :
Goalkeeper (3 people): Pickford, Pope, Ramsdale
defender (11 people): Arnold , Chilwell, Cody, Dale, Geith, Reese James, Maguire , Luke Shaw , Stones , Trippier , Walker
Midfielder (5 players): Bellingham, Mount, Calvin Phillips, Rice, Henderson
Forward (7 players): Abraham, Foden, Glalish, Kane, Saka, Sterling, Rashford
