Former Bristol City defender Adam Webster has been included in Gareth Southgate’s preliminary 55-man World Cup squad for Qatar 2022.
The Evening Standard has reported that Brighton & Hove Albion centre-back Webster, who joined the Seagulls from City in the summer of 2019 for a fee of around £20m, is on Southgate’s long list which was submitted to FIFA on October 21 and will be trimmed to 26 on November 10.
Webster joins Brighton teammates Lewis Dunk and Danny Welbeck on the provisional list, which has not been made public, as the Seagulls play with a three-man defence which is exactly how England are likely to line up in Qatar.
