(Picture: Evening Standard)Gareth Southgate spoke to the media on Saturday afternoon ahead of Sunday’s crucial Nations League qualifier against Belgium, with Declan Rice joining him.
Southgate delivered the latest team news, with Marcus Rashford withdrawing from the squad and Conor Coady self-isolating after a coronavirus scare following previously withdrawals of James Ward-Prowse and Trent Alexander-Arnold through injury.
England used Thursday’s comfortable win over Ireland as a chance to experiment and the likes of Jack Grealish, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho gave Southgate plenty of decisions to make for Sunday’s starting XI after impressing at Wembley.
The likes of Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane are expected to come in against the world’s top-ranked team.
