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 hope we've instructed Coco to handcuff himself to Dybala if he has to... please log in to view this image
How can he just come back to an international start after his serious injury without,at least,one league game?
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
