Emiliano Martinez , Robin Olsen, Ludwig Augustinsson , Jan Bednarek, Matty Cash , Lucas Digne , Leander Dendoncker ; : Emi Buendia , Douglas Luiz , Boubakar Kamara , Philippe Coutinho , Tyrone Mings, Ollie Watkins
Coutinho and Mings are both in a spot of bother after the former was omitted from Brazil’s latest squad amid a poor run of Villa form while the England defender was left out of the Nations League fixtures in June, with Southgate admitting others are ‘slightly ahead’. Steven Gerrard is arguably more reliant on the ‘possibles’ than the ‘probables’.
but it looks bleaker for Martinelli than Gabriel and Jesus. Smith Rowe is sweating on the periphery of Southgate’s party, while Vieira is a long-shot for the Portugal squad having not yet received a senior call-up.
