Eberechi Eze, James Maddison and Callum Wilson are among the outsiders still in contention to be selected in England's World Cup squad.

Gareth Southgate selects his 26-man party for Qatar next Thursday but there aren't expected to be too many surprises, though the injuries to Kyle Walker and Reece James has raised questions over the make-up of England's defensive options.

The England manager's final squad will be whittled down from an original list of 55 names, that was submitted to FIFA last month.
