England World Cup squad: James Maddison among those trying to impress Gareth Southgate

[ad_1]

James Maddison put in a performance in Leicester’s 4-0 win at Wolves that will, according to Gary Lineker, have him “banging very loudly” on England boss Gareth Southgate’s door.

But Maddison is not alone in being something of a World Cup squad outsider putting in some strong recent performances.

The final 26-man squads for Qatar have to be given to Fifa by 14 November and BBC Sport takes a look at some of those who have improved their chances with eye-catching displays over the weekend.

Maddison has been a significant bright spot in what has been largely a season of struggle so far for the Foxes.

The attacking midfielder has scored six goals in 10 Premier League appearances as well as providing two assists, and he put in another impressive display at Wolves on Sunday as the Foxes moved off the bottom of the table and out of the relegation zone with a 4-0 victory.

“He scores goals and creates goals,” Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers told BBC Sport. “He is one of the leading talents in the country, not only the effort he puts in but everything he does.

“I’m pretty sure he is in going to be in Gareth’s [Southgate’s] thinking, he just needs to keep performing well for Leicester.”

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will have hopes of coming back into the England fold after scoring for Everton in their 3-0 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday, a game Southgate watched.

The striker has struggled with a knee injury this season but appears to have returned to fitness at just the right time.

Calvert-Lewin was part of the England squad that reached the Euro 2020 final, although he only played 18 minutes during the tournament. He has scored four goals in 11 appearances under Southgate, who handed him his England debut against Wales in October 2020.

“It’s every boy’s dream to go to the World Cup,” Calvert-Lewin said. “I’ve been counting down the days to get back on the pitch and all I can do is play the best I can for Everton, score goals and see where that takes me.”
