Will Ivan Toney or Callum Wilson make England World Cup squad? Gareth Southgate dilemma explained

England head to the World Cup in Qatar in a strong position to go deep into the competition, with a host of world class players ready to drive the Three Lions forwards.

However, the presence of such a wealth of talent does pose some difficult questions for Gareth Southgate as he hopes to narrow down his options for Qatar. The team will be led as ever by Harry Kane, with the England captain having become the first name on the team sheet following his Golden Boot win at the 2018 tournament in Russia.

Due to the fact that Southgate would be unable to call up a replacement were the Spurs man to become injured, there is the need to call upon an able deputy to take his role in the side should he be sidelined. The options to fill this deputy role are plentiful, with Callum Wilson, Tammy Abraham, Ivan Toney and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all in the discussion having recently been called up to the squad.
