Liverpool defender Joe Gomez could be in line for a surprise England recall in time for the Three Lions' World Cup campaign in Qatar.
Gomez was instrumental to the 1-0 victory over Manchester City on Sunday afternoon at Anfield as he, alongside Virgil van Dijk, helped Liverpool become just the second Premier League side to prevent Erling Haaland from finding the back of the net this season.
England boss Gareth Southgate faces a last-ditch defensive dilemma ahead of naming his 26-man squad, with Manchester City defender Kyle Walker still recovering from surgery on an ongoing groin issue. Meanwhile, Chelsea star Reece James is set for a prolonged period on the sidelines after damaging ligaments in his knee during the victory over AC Milan last week and Harry Maguire has only managed a bit-part role under new Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag so far this season.
