FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022: James Maddison Called up to Gareth Southgate's England Squad
News 18England manager Gareth Southgate hailed James Maddison as among the best-attacking players in the Premier League after the Leicester midfielder was included Thursday in his country’s World Cup squad. However, of the players available to the England boss, only Harry Kane has scored and assisted more Premier League goals in 2022 than Maddison. The absence of Chelsea right-back Reece James means Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold’s defensive weaknesses have been overlooked by Southgate to make the 26-man squad. Squad in full: Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale Defenders: Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Eric Dier, John Stones, Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier, Conor Coady, Ben White, Trent Alexander-Arnold Midfielders: Jude Bellingham, Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher, Declan Rice, Jordan Henderson, Kalvin Phillips Forwards: James Maddison, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling, Callum Wilson, Marcus Rashford Read all the Latest Sports News here
