Gareth Southgate has announced his full England squad for the upcoming fixtures against Albania and San Marino.

The Three Lions need just a single point to be sure of qualification for next year's World Cup Finals in Qatar, but given the opposition, the team will surely be hoping to seal it in style.

The two remaining two fixtures will take place next week, beginning with the Albania tie on the 12th of November, before their final match in the group away at San Marino.

There aren't too many alterations from the squad that Southgate announced last month, with only Marcus Rashford coming in, while his Manchester United teammates Jesse Lingard and Jadon Sancho both miss out.

Tammy Abraham is also retained by Southgate, after netting in last month's win over Andorra.

Last time out, England were largely disappointing, drawing 1-1 at home against a resilient Hungry side. Prior to that, Phil Foden put on a show away at Andorra, as the visitors ran out comfortable 5-0 winners.

So far in Group I, Southgate's men have won six, drawn two, and are still yet to lose, having earned a hard-fought draw in Warsaw against Poland back in September.
