Rashford, Wilson and Gallagher all included but Ward-Prowse suffers more major tournament heartbreak
Maddison has had 22 Premier League goal involvements in this calendar year, a figure bettered only by Harry Kane, Kevin De Bruyne and Son Heung-min.
Wilson, like Rashford, has been out of the picture. The Newcastle striker won the last of his four caps in October 2019 but has been in goalscoring touch this season and has been preferred to Tammy Abraham and Ivan Toney. There is no place for the West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen, who has failed to hit his stride this season.
Southgate has selected the Manchester City pair Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips in his 26-man squad for Qatar even though the former is recovering from groin surgery. Phillips has barely played this season, mainly because of a shoulder operation towards the end of September, although he made his return as a second-half substitute in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
There was further England devastation for James Ward-Prowse as he was omitted, having also been cut at the very last stage before the Euros in the summer of last year. Rashford’s previous England appearance came in the Euro 2020 penalty shootout defeat against Italy, when he missed his kick. Southgate had previously counted on him at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the player’s experience helped to press his case. As expected, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been included.Trent Alexander-Arnold , Conor Coady , Eric Dier , Harry Maguire , Luke Shaw , John Stones , Kieran Trippier , Kyle Walker , Ben White .
