He took the new player 54 minutes this season to the World Cup
The list was announced by the English Football Association (FA) and head coach Gareth Southgate on the morning of November 10, London time. According to the British military leader, these are the best players of the current foggy football.
But Southgate admits he accepts the risk of filling in the names of Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips - two Man City players who have not played much recently because of injury. Philipps has even played four times, with just 54 minutes in all competitions this season. In particular, the Man City midfielder played 40 minutes in the League Cup, 13 minutes in the Champions League and 1 minute in the Premier League.
"Kalvin played for Man City against Chelsea, so I think he's recovered from his injury even though he hasn't played all seven games in a row. Kyle is different because he hasn't returned to training but will be available at the end of the group stage." Southgate said.
However, he caused controversy because he ignored Fikayo Tomori - a central defender who played very well at AC Milan for more than a year, and summoned Harry Maguire. Maguire failed to keep the starting position at Man Utd this season. He also makes mistakes every time he plays.
"Harry is one of the best centre-backs in English football. I think we know this group from the inside, because the players have been to many tournaments and we know what the team needs," Southgate said. explain.
The two biggest surprises on the list to go to Qatar 2022 are Leicester midfielder James Maddison and Newcastle striker Callum Wilson. Both have not been called up to the England squad since 2019, but recent excellent form at the club made Southgate change his mind, giving them a chance.
Maddison is expected to shoulder creative responsibility in the "Three Lions" midfield. England owns highly regarded midfielders like Mason Mount, Jude Bellingham or Declan Rice, but lacks a true conductor.
"He's playing really well. I think Maddison will give England a little bit of a difference from the rest of the attacking players," Southgate said.
