The biggest absentee is obviously Harry Kane who suffered a knock to his ankle against Bournemouth, and he's expected to be out of action until April with ligament damage.

Well, here's f*cking hoping so.
Despite talks linking Ryan Sessegnon with a call-up to the senior team, the Fulham phenom has landed a spot in England's under-21 side.

The 17-year-old is tearing it up in the Championship, and continues to be linked with a move to the Premier League with the likes of Spurs reportedly keeping tabs on his progress.
Meanwhile, England's first game of the World Cup is versus Tunisia on June 18th. Southgate's charges also play Panama on June 24th and Belgium on 28th June.
His side will also play Nigeria (Wembley Stadium) and Costa Rica (Leeds' Elland Road) in friendlies ahead of venturing to Russia.
