## Key points

- England’s squad is due at 10am GMT.
- Saka is out, with Madueke a possible replacement.
- Lankshear has scored 15 goals in 16 games.

## Summary

England’s final squad announcement of the year is expected at 10am GMT, ahead of the team’s last two matches. England have nine points from three wins and one defeat, and the selection is drawing attention because several positions and places remain in question.

Cole Palmer could return after missing the previous camps through injury, while Bukayo Saka is unavailable with a quadriceps problem, potentially opening a place for Noni Madueke. Jordan Pickford faces competition from James Trafford, who started two of England’s four autumn games, and Dean Henderson may return from injury. Middlesbrough striker Will Lankshear is also a possible surprise selection after scoring 15 goals in 16 matches this season.
