Chris Sutton's verdict on every player in Gareth Southgate's 26-man World Cup squad
Daily MailGareth Southgate made some big calls as he revealed his 26-man England squad for the World Cup in Qatar on Thursday. Rating - 4/5 Everton keeper Jordan Pickford is England's expected No 1 once again for the World Cup having never let his country down Aaron Ramsdale has been in excellent form for Arsenal but has done enough to oust Everton keeper Pickford from the team Nick Pope will be the third choice keeper but proved his worth when saving three penalties for Newcastle in the Carabao Cup DEFENDERS Trent Alexander-Arnold Three stars on the basis that if Reece James were available, I’m not sure Alexander-Arnold would be in this squad. Rating - 4/5 Ben White's versatility will be beneficial for England during the World Cup and his partnership with Bukayo Saka could help John Stones Central defence is England’s problem area. Rating - 5/5 James Maddison gets his deserved call-up after his stunning form for Leicester this season going back into the last campaign FORWARDS Harry Kane I don’t blame Kane for being knackered. Rating - 4/5 Marcus Rashford has worked his way back into the team after he was low on confidence at Manchester United last season Callum Wilson It’s the day of the Ws!
