England Squad FIFA World Cup Qatar 2002

England fans are expectant once again for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, having reached the final of Euro 2021 last summer and the last four at Russia 2018.

Gareth Southgate has taken the Three Lions closer to glory than any other manager since they last lifted the World Cup in 1966.

Southgate will be keen to manage the pressure surrounding his squad as the build-up to the tournament continues, but the former defender should also be confident of another strong performance. England start among the leading contenders to hoist the famous trophy.

With the likes of Reece James and Ben Chilwell ruled out through injury, Southgate had to look to other options in defence. Conor Gallagher and James Maddison both made the final 26-man squad in midfield while he opted for Callum Wilson over the likes of Ivan Toney, and Tammy Abraham as an outside pick up front.
