The England Coach Shock Supporters With His Provisional Squad Ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
In preparation for the FIFA World Cup, which will be held in Qatar, England’s head coach, Gareth Southgate, has revealed his 55-man squad.
On Tuesday, November 1, 2022, the Athletic’s official website made the provisional list available. Some of the players on Southgate’s list were expected, while others caught Three Lions supporters off guard.
Gareth Southgate is set to name his England squad for the World Cup next Thursday but Danny Welbeck and Brighton team-mate Lewis Dunk are in the initial 55-man contingent
Southgate is set to select his 26-man contingent for Qatar next Thursday – just 11 days before the Three Lions’ opening group game against Iran.
According to The Athletic, Welbeck and Dunk are included in the 55-man squad, which will be trimmed next week, as Southgate gets his side ready for the competition in the Middle East. The Brighton duo helped the Seagulls to an emphatic 4-1 victory over Chelsea on the weekend and currently sit eighth after 12 games.
Meanwhile, James Maddison, Eberechi Eze and Callum Wilson have also been named on the long list and remain outsiders to be called up in Southgate’s main squad.

According to the Daily Mail, all three players have demonstrated sufficient ability to be included in Southgate’s 55-man squad, which was submitted to FIFA last month. However, there aren’t likely to be many surprises in the composition of the 26-man Three Lions team.
Meanwhile, the fitness of Bukayo Saka, Reece James and Kyle Walker could determine whether Maddison or Eze can slot into the squad.
