Could happily spend hours sorting things into alphabetical order but seriously, why do England list the squad like that. Nobody wants to read a team like that.
Pathetic excuse with no substance behind why he wasn’t included. There are a few players in the team who aren’t playing or playing regularly, it’s a shame but overall a decent team still, especially up top.
Makes you wonder why no Harry Winks or James Maddison who have been impressive themselves
Would certainly select those two ahead of Dier and Loftus-Cheek
Winks has been nursing a groin injury for the last two months. Southgate is quoted as saying Winks would have been in the squad had it not been for injury, same applies to Lingard too.

that'll be Wellbeck withdrawing then...

Midfield is a bit of a concern at the moment; is Dele Alli fit again? - I thought he was still injured
Why not give that spot to Ward-Prowse or literally anybody else.
Pickford
Walker | Stones | Maguire | Shaw
Alli | Rice | Barkley
Sterling | Kane | Rashford
As mentioned though, is Alli fit enough for selection yet so do you play Henderson in his place?
But on his recent form I'd say he deserves to start
I've always been a fan of Butland but surprised he's being picked with the likes of Alex McCarthy or Angus Gunn in the Premier League for Southampton
WTF he has played more games than F***ing Delph and yet u picked him
Ward-Prowse has played every minute of Southamptons 11 league games since the end of December
He also played the full 90 in both FA Cup games and the full 30 minutes extra time.
In the same time period Loftus-Cheek has played in 7 games (averaging 20 minutes a game) and Delph has played 10 minutes of 1 game.
Would certainly select those two ahead of Dier and Loftus-Cheek
Southgate is quoted as saying Winks would have been in the squad had it not been for injury, same applies to Lingard too.
Fabien Delph | John Stones | Ruben Loftus-Cheek have withdrawn through injury
So who starts with Maguire in the heart of Defence... Keane or Tarkowski?
We really need Gomez back for sure!!
