Athletic saying no Guehi either.
England Discussion

Interesting, possibly at least one surprise inclusion? Maybe he's gone for Maddison?
There aren't many obvious CBs available to pick.
Maguire may have been England’s best cb, but he clearly isn’t anymore. Bringing Maguire to Qatar is just giving more fodder to the press.
Ivan Toney, not in the squad - almost certainly to be Wilson in the squad.
Talksport saying Ivan Toney not going.
Bowen not in the squad.
How is Toney not there? Must surely be the gambling allegation - or maybe he was in competition with Wilson?
Disappointed at this, good player.
What are the gambling allegations? Wilson has been playing well, but you still worry he is one sprint from an injury.
Thanks for that.
He's okay but he's not been good this season and I wasn't impressed with his appearances for England either. If Bowen made the squad, even Sancho could feel hard done by and I think most would agree that he shouldn't be near the squad given his form.
No Tomori or Smalling. 
If you don't play in the PL you're shit out of luck because Southgate is a dunce.

Waiting for Southgate to go full WWE heel turn and call up Mason Greenwood
Sense.
Philips shouldn’t be rewarded for playing barely any premier league games in 2 seasons.
Oh he will my friend.
Southgate is a contradictive whopper.
Where's the leak?
Might be he has now told the ones who are not in and they or family have told all and sundry. The press might have also rung round the ones who were not sure choices.
Tammy Abraham has been shit all season and scored three, I fully expect Sir Gaz to call him up.
another england managing favouring players from the big 6, dier is awful, same with Maguire and he hasn't looked good for England over the past 6 months either and then there is Philips who is not even match fit but likely to go and I wasn't long ago that grealish was struggling to get a game for England when he was at villa but now that he is at city he is constantly called up and being selected despite being outperformed by maddison.
I would still take Phillips to be honest. We don't have many midfielders who can play instead of Rice as a deeper CM... Only really Henderson? (meh)
Reported that he won't be in the squad.
Re Toney writing was on the wall once he didn't give him even a minute in the last two games, the nail in the coffin being the emergence of this investigation (that has been going on for months and still bought no charges) of some historical betting allegations. Southgate never wanted him involved and just caved to pressure from the press/public to call him up last time imo.
No JWP and set to be included. My guess would be Maddison and Gallagher/RLC as the surprise picks?
I'm not sure why England don't try Foden in the Mount role.
I reckon zero surprises.
No serie A guys, all the semi fit big names still picked. No JWP, no Toney, no Bowen.
No Tomori or Smalling.
If you don't play in the PL you're shit out of luck because Southgate is a dunce.
Neither is good enough anyways. Tomori had a great spell, but thats ended. He is massively overrated. Smalling has been called up for many years and is 32/33, I really like Smalling, but he is injury prone and has lost a yard of pace. Nothing wrong with what Southgate has done here
? Acting like they're really good players?No Tomori or Smalling.
Well bowen shouldn't be in anyway. Abraham and Tomori are jokes not to be in.
James Maddison is in. I Would have had Toney incase of a penalty shootout
Or play the most productive #10 in the league in Maddison?
If the reports are correct, there will be a couple of surprise inclusions, assuming he picks the full 26. Maddison for example shouldn't be a surprise but given Southgate hasn't picked him on numerous occasion when in good form.
Possibly. I much prefer Foden though.
Why the talk on Tomori? He's so overrated. I guess people don't watch Serie A.
Foden plays mainly wide?
Quit talking sense!
