Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott could yet realise his World Cup dream with Leicester City's James Maddison struggling with a hamstring injury he has been managing.
Maddison has sat out of England's training in Qatar for the past two days and is now set to miss the Three Lions' clash with Iran on Monday.
Gareth Southgate has until Sunday to decide whether he would like to replace Maddison in the 26-man squad as England look to try and win their second World Cup.
