Dele Alli has been dropped from the England squad. Quite right and a long overdue decision. How Danny Rose is there given Aaron Cresswell's start to the season is baffling tbh.

England squad:

Goalkeepers: Tom Heaton (Aston Villa), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley)

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Ben Chilwell (Leicester), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Michael Keane (Everton), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Danny Rose (Tottenham), Fikayo Tomori (Chelsea), Kieran Trippier (Atletico Madrid)

Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Chelsea), Fabian Delph (Everton), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), James Maddison (Leicester), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Declan Rice (West Ham), Harry Winks (Tottenham)

Forwards: Tammy Abraham (Chelsea), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Callum Wilson (Bournemouth)

Though it really (really!) pains me to say it, I like the England midfield options of Maddison, Rice, Mount, Sancho. Add in Hudson-Odoi and I think the future is bright. Henderson and Delph should be nowhere near the squad however. Winks has a role but doesn't stand out like the others.

I guess injuries won't matter at this point in time.We don't seem to have a settled team...….
 
How is Foyth fit and in Argentina's squad, yet not getting considered for ours at all?
 
How can he just come back to an international start after his serious injury without,at least,one league game?

Have you seen the other options Argentina have at right back?

I'm sure we were linked with Fabricio Bustos of Independiente a while ago. He must've had a mare.

Saravia's the only proper right-back in their squad and he's barely played this season since he joined Porto.
Started their home leg in the Champions League qualifier against Krasnodar and hasn't been seen since.
They were 3-0 down when he was subbed off after 38 minutes and they went out on goal difference...
 
It's a bit ironic (annoying) that the last game Foyth played was for Argentina when he was injured and his return is not for Spurs but Argentina again. If he is injured again then we should launch an attack from the Falklands.

JOKE! ok don't get serious.

The annoyance isn't BTW.

*ahem*

Foyth did his ankle in pre-season against Bayern, who we apparently pissed off by having our U23s beat them on penalties and they were looking for any excuse to get their own back for that one

Lo Celso got nobbled on international duty

No card when already on a yellow. Lo Celso played on and then got crocked again later in the match.
