England boss Gareth Southgate insists he isn't nervous about late injuries between now and the 2022 World Cup after naming his 26-man squad on Thursday. Newcastle United trio Callum Wilson, Nick Pope and Kieran Trippier have made the cut with one Premier League game to go before the players jet off to Qatar.
Wilson has consistently struggled with injuries during his time at Newcastle but recently returned to the first-team in fine style, netting four times in seven games to earn his place at the tournament. The 30-year-old was withdrawn halfway through the 4-1 win over Southampton last weekend through illness and wasn't risked for the midweek Carabao Cup tie.
Trippier also looked to have picked up a hamstring injury against the Saints but played on after an initial scare close to half-time. Pope has enjoyed a clean bill of health since joining Newcastle.
