England will hope to get 26 players, as happened at Euro 2020 when they were beaten by Covid. Here, Sportsmail predicts who England boss will choose for the tournament. Boss Gareth Southgate will have a selection headache when he selects England for Qatar GOALKEEPERS Jordan Pickford – The undisputed No. 1 in England. He saved England against Switzerland on Saturday with two good stances. Southgate rushed to demolish the consequences of Everton’s possible relegation to their World Cup chances. The boss of England will be desperate for Pickford to avoid this scenario. Jordan Pickford, despite Everton’s uniform, will start among the sticks for the Three Lions Aaron Ramsdale – Pickford’s closest emerging challenger. The Arsenal goalkeeper has enjoyed a great first season at the Emirates and was set to risk his claim in England during this international pre-injury break. In addition to any disasters, you should be on the plane. Sam Johnstone – Southgate and goalkeeping coach Martin Margetson are big fans of West Bromwich Albion. He continued to be selected, despite playing in the Championship. Johnson will leave West Brom this summer and will probably win a transfer to the Premier League. If he plays regularly in the first division, he will go to Qatar. Southgate is a big fan of West Brom shooter Sam Johnston and could reward him DEFENSE Harry Maguire – His form has been bad for Manchester United in recent months and there was even some disapproval on Saturday when his name was read on the tano. But Maguire remains one of Southgate’s most trusted lieutenants. Apart from injury, he is on the plane and playing. John Stones – Another certainty that he will go to Qatar, provided he plays for Manchester City. He had to play with the Swiss before he was slightly injured in the warm-up. His partnership with Maguire at the heart of England’s defense was the cornerstone of last summer’s success at Euro 2020 and Southgate will build on it again. John Stones’s form could see him split Harry Maguire into the center midfield of the tournament Conor Coady – Has been a key presence in Southgate’s plans, not so much on and off the field. Assistant coach Steve Holland named the Wolves center as a Euro half player. His professionalism and dedication set the standard for those around him. A more than capable MP for the Maguire and Stones. Marc Guehi – Maybe a surprise, given his international debut just on Saturday, but Southgate is a huge fan of the Crystal Palace defender. He was excellent against the Swiss and now seems on the way to the World Cup. His decision-making and focus, in particular, are features that Southgate admires. Marc Guehi could take the place of Tyrone Mings in the team and be preferred by Ben White Fikayo Tomori – Unlucky not to be called up to the current team after a series of outstanding performances at AC Milan. If he continues to rise, then it will be difficult for Southgate to ignore the former Chelsea center-back when naming his World Cup squad. Kyle Walker – Agreed to stay out of this international break, but the English veteran will return for the summer matches in the UEFA Nations League. If his performances at Manchester City do not fall off the cliff, Walker will go to the World Cup and will continue to be a key Southgate player. Kyle Walker could be Southgate’s first right-back pick ahead of England other options Reese James – Undoubtedly Chelsea player of the season, before a hind thigh injury, hindered his progress. His physical condition and ease of possession make him ideal for international football and Southgate spoke brilliantly about the right back’s temperament. James’ flexibility is also important for tournament football. Trent Alexander-Arnold – For many, the Liverpool player should be England’s key right-back, but Southgate needs convincing. But you can not ignore his interpretations. He was to start against Switzerland or C Αte d’Ivoire before injuring his femur. Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold will offer competition for Walker on the right Luke Shaw – His draw at Wembley on Saturday will give the left-back confidence in the world of good after an opening season due to illness and injury. He is in the second half of 2022 as the first left back and will continue to be unless Ben Zilwell or Tariq Mitchell create a problem for Southgate. Ben Chilwell – His campaign has been marred by injury and he is unlikely to play again this season. This leaves him vulnerable on the way to Qatar, especially with the appearance of Mitchell as a choice in the left back. But on condition that he be able to hit the ground next season, the Chelsea man will have to make the plane. INSIDE Declan Rice – The West Ham hero is one of the first names on the team sheet. England’s performance improved significantly when they came off the bench in the victory over Switzerland. The summer could bring some personal turmoil if he leaves the London stadium, but he is sure to go to Qatar – and get started. Kalvin Phillips – He missed this international break due to injury, but remains an important player for England. Anyone else who could move to a top six club this summer and play regular European football will definitely benefit Phillips and England from moving on. Jude Bellingham – He should be given another chance to impress against Ivory Coast on Tuesday night. He traveled in international football like a duck in the water and was impressive in his game against the Swiss. The future and present of England’s midfield, the teenager is certain of Qatar. Jordan Henderson – His days as an auto-key for England seem to be over, but his experience is crucial for Southgate, especially in football tournaments. The Liverpool international’s international career is probably coming to an end, but he remains a key figure in this team. Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is expected to be England’s top midfielder Mason Mount – The dream of a football coach. Influences the game on offense and completes his defensive duties as diligently as he would when trying to open up opposing defenses. The Chelsea player is often troubled by his supporters, but Southgate is fully aware of the importance of Mount for his team. Conor Gallagher – Outstanding in his full England debut on Saturday, buzzing around Wembley Stadium with energy and intent. It’s worth recognizing after a great campaign at Crystal Palace. He intends to return to Chelsea next season and if he does not play regularly then this will affect his hopes in Qatar. Conor Gallagher impressed in the victory against Switzerland and it could be a surprise FRONT Harry Kane – He could very well be England’s all-time leading scorer until the finals. The captain, who picked up the winner from the point against Switzerland, will head to Qatar as one of the most feared attackers in the world. Shaw told Kane to win a second consecutive Golden Shoe at the World Cup and you would not bet against him. Raheem Sterling – The euphoric star of England in the Euro final last summer and will go to the World Cup as a key player. One of the genuine world-class footballers of this country. His off-field presence has increased during the Southgate reign. Raheem Sterling was a star at Euro 2020 and is a huge candidate to go to the Gulf state Phil Foden – It is unbelievable to believe that the Manchester City star is still only 21 years old. Last year’s Euro experience will allow Foden to be announced to the world in Qatar. A player who can unlock the door in an instant and look for goals. An extremely talented young footballer. Bukayo Saka – His enthusiasm and attitude is contagious and Southgate loves him as much as his teammates. His ability to play in many positions makes it almost impossible to stay out. England is blessed with some brilliant attacking talent and Saka more than he has his own. Arsenal’s Bukaya Sako can make the cut and his flexibility will definitely help the Southgate team Jack Grealish – The 100 100 million man’s influence on the attack is undeniable, but you can only feel that Southgate does not trust him to do a job back to his goal. But for the Manchester City star to leave for Qatar would be a huge shock, so wait for him to travel. Tammy Abraham – It is a pity that the Roma striker was forced to retire from this team due to injury, because he was going to have the opportunity to consolidate his position as Kane’s student. It seems to be a direct battle between Dominic Calvert-Lewin for the role of back-up striker and, for now, Abraham has the upper hand. Tammy Abraham was in good form for Roma’s goal and could be in Qatar Jadon Sancho – Very talented but has lost his way slightly since moving to Manchester United. However, he is starting to find his feet at Old Trafford, something that is well predicted for next season. It has been said that he is the best traveler if he does not play but, only with talent, he should leave. WAITING Dean Henderson – If he can become No. 1 else next season, then he could have a chance. Kieran Tripper – England player, but there is a much younger talent in the back. Tyrone Mings – The fact that he is left-footed helps but others have moved on. Aston Villa center-back Tyrone Mings could stay at home with other favors in front of him Ben White – Talented, but his mistake on Saturday would not do him any favors. Jacob Ramsey – He was close to being called up this time and will remain on England’s radar. Harvey Eliot – A great future ahead, but this World Cup may come too early for him. Harvey Eliot recently made …
