England's 2022 World Cup squad: Who should Gareth Southgate take to Qatar?

[ad_1]

Gareth Southgate

England manager Gareth Southgate names his 26-man World Cup squad on Thursday – so what are the main talking points?

Unlike previous World Cups there are no pre-tournament friendlies where you can whittle things down. The squad named on Thursday afternoon will be the definitive one for Qatar – even though it is announced before the final round of Premier League games this weekend.

The World Cup runs from 20 November to 18 December.

There are plenty of conundrums for Southgate to tackle; we highlight some of his big issues and you can have your say.

Who will take advantage of full-back injuries?

Kyle Walker injured playing for Man City

Gareth Southgate initially named four right-backs in his Euro 2020 squad – although Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold was ruled out through injury afterwards.

Alexander-Arnold’s patchy form this season means he could be in danger of exclusion for Qatar.

His destiny may depend on the injury status of Manchester City’s Kyle Walker and Chelsea’s Reece James, who have both been out for some time.

Walker has not played in more than a month and has had groin surgery, while James was practically ruled out with a knee injury last month but has since started jogging and could yet be fit.

Newcastle United’s Kieran Trippier is the only right-back who can be pretty certain of being on the plane. Ben White, who has spent much of his career in central defence, has played the whole season at right-back for Arsenal so could be an option too.

Southampton right-back Kyle Walker-Peters, who won two caps this year, is also ruled out.

Left-back is also an issue after Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell was ruled out with a hamstring injury.

That leaves Manchester United’s Luke Shaw as the only regular option in that position.

Leicester City’s James Justin, Crystal Palace’s Tyrick Mitchell, Brentford’s Rico Henry, Tottenham’s Ryan Sessegnon, Newcastle United’s Dan Burn and West Ham United’s Aaron Cresswell are options to provide cover.

Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi can also play on the left, which boosts his hopes of a call-up.
