England Team List

England manager Gareth Southgate has named a 23-man provisional squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, with a few surprise names making the cut in a youthful-looking list.

The most notable inclusions see uncapped duo Trent Alexander-Arnold and Nick Pope named, while Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek - who has spent the 2017/18 season on loan at Crystal Palace - also makes the squad despite having never made a competitive appearance for the Three Lions.

Southgate has named five standby players for Russia 2018: Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana, Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton, his club team-mate James Tarkowski, 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup-winning captain Lewis Cook and Jake Livermore of West Bromwich Albion.

Southgate said the 23 names he selected are "a squad which we can be excited about."
