World Cup'We have a real belief' – Kane and Southgate give their assessment on France ahead of quarter-final09/12/2022 AT 19:06 «There hasn't been a trial yet or any judgement so I don't know on what basis we wouldn't pick him really,» Southgate said of Toney's selection in relation to his FA case. «Ivan has been consistent throughout the season. He is playing really well.

I like his presence in games.» In his first squad since the 2022 World Cup, Southgate has kept faith with several players who participated in Qatar. In defence, Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold is a notable exclusion after a difficult campaign at club level. Everton’s Conor Coady is also absent while Arsenal’s Ben White misses out as well.

White left the squad during the World Cup although the reasons why were never made clear. Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi makes the cut having missed out in Qatar, while Manchester City's Kyle Walker is also included despite currently being the subject of a police investigation. «It's a complicated situation,» said Southgate.
