KEEPERS FACE CRUNCH

- BY JOHN CROSS

GARETH SOUTHGATE has a major goalkeeper dilemma. Jordan Pickford will remain as England’s No.1 as they face Spain at Wembley in the UEFA Nations League and a friendly with Switzerlan­d next month. Southgate took Nick Pope and Jack Butland to Russia as his back-ups. But Burnley keeper Pope (below) is out after a shoulder op and Butland fears he could lose his place after Stoke’s relegation.

Angus Gunn did not start Southampto­n’s first game as Alex McCarthy got the nod. Tom Heaton has also been a contender but Burnley kicked off with Joe Hart in goal.
