WHO'S ON THE PLANE
STARSPORT looks at who is and who isn’t on the plane to Russia from the squad which faced Holland and Italy.
GOALKEEPERS
@E JACK BUTLAND
But will have to play understudy to Jordan Pickford despite being more experienced @E JORDAN PICKFORD The best keeper in the squad with the ball at his feet
@E JOE HART
Should make the squad but only as third choice. Lack of game time at West Ham has cost him FLK NICK POPE the futureNo chance unless one of his rivals gets injured. One for
DEFENDERS
@E JOHN STONES Set to start as the lynchpin of the back three. England haven’t conceded with him on the pitch for six games D8P9<JAMES
TARKOWSKI In with a chance after a confident debut against Italy but competition is tough @E RYAN BERTRAND
Probably England’s first-choice left back. Will feel he has done enough to start the tournament @E DANNY ROSE Although a lack of game time at Tottenham may cost him a starting spot @E KYLE WALKER
May even play on the right of the back three after doing well there against Holland and Italy @E KIERAN TRIPPIER Should be in the squad but hasn’t impressed in recent matches. @E JOE GOMEZ
Has a real chance if he can stay fit. Versatility makes him an attractive option @E HARRY MAGUIRE Has jumped ahead of Gary Cahill in the pecking order and looks likely to start FLK ALFIE MAWSON
A massive long shot. Impressive for Under-21s but didn’t play in either game
D8P9<YOUNG ASHLEY Has reinvented himself as a full-back and could get in as a back-up who can cover both left and right
MIDFIELDERS
@E DELE ALLI
Once certain for the starting line-up but suddenly on the outside looking in FLK LEWIS COOK Hasn’t played enough for England and would be a big gamble @E ERIC DIER Captained his country against Italy, although not as sure of a starting spot though @E JORDAN HENDERSON
Has few rivals for the deep-lying playmaker role. May not start every game @E ADAM LALLANA Can play a number of roles and has been a key man for Southgate. Back to fitness just in time @E JESSE LINGARD
Has impressed in recent games and is in good form for Manchester United. A wild card option D8P9<LIVERMORE JAKE Still has work to do. Yet to let his country down but may not quite have the quality @E ALEX OXLADECHAMBERLAIN Not a certain starter but has looked good in flashes as a third midfielder and gives options D8P9<JACK
WILSHERE Unlucky not to feature against Italy after another injury. Running out of time though JKI@B<IJ1 @E MARCUS RASHFORD
Often England’s best player but faces a fight to get in the starting line-up @E RAHEEM STERLING Man of the match against Italy. Makes things happen. Should start @E JAMIE VARDY
A dangerous option off the bench and could even start if others unavailable D8P9<WELBECK DANNY Sweating on the finals. Not doing much at Arsenal to justify a place on the plane
OTHERS
@E HARRY KANE
Probably England’s only world-class player and certain to start up front if fit @E PHIL JONES Centre-back missed both friendlies but has done enough to make it. Not a certain starter D8P9<LOFTUS-CHEEK RUBEN Southgate is a fan of the midfielder but only just back from injury
