We already know that Chelsea's Reece James is a major doubt with a knee injury that may keep him out for eight weeks, while Manchester City duo Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips are in a race against time after undergoing surgery.

A number of English players have set the Premier League alight in the early stages of the season, with Tottenham’s Harry Kane netting nine times in 10 games and Brentford forward Ivan Toney giving Southgate something to think about with an impressive eight goals. Bukayo Saka has played a major role in Arsenal’s blistering start to the term, while Manchester City’s Phil Foden and Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham have also been in sparkling form for their clubs.

It’s now almost decision time for Southgate, who will pick his provisional squad — he can name as many as 55 players, up from 35 — later this week. FIFA has set a deadline on November 13 for teams to finalise their 26-man squads for Qatar.
