Gareth Southgate confirms England plan for Man City players vs North Macedonia

England manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed he plans to restore some members of Manchester City's Treble-winning squad to his side ahead of Monday night's European Championship qualifier against North Macedonia at Old Trafford.

Phil Foden was the only City player to feature in the Three Lions' comfortable 4-0 win over Malta on Friday evening, stepping off the bench at half-time. The versatile attacker was called upon to replace Arsenal ace Bukayo Saka.

Southgate, however, decided against utilising Kyle Walker, John Stones, Kalvin Phillips and Jack Grealish, giving each of them more recovery time less than a week after City won the Champions League in Istanbul. City's Treble celebrations continued last Monday in Manchester city centre with an open-top bus parade.
