Diary

Wednesday, 24 January 2018 - Following the draw in Lausanne, England will face Spain and Croatia in League A of the inaugural UEFA Nations League. The first group games take place in September this year, with the finals scheduled for June 2019.

Tuesday, 28 August 2018 - Jamie Vardy and Gary Cahill are stepping aside from international football to allow manager Gareth Southgate to bring younger players in. But both players say they are "not shutting the door completely".  Leicester City striker Vardy says he first told Southgate of his intentions at the World Cup in Russia. "This has been on my mind for a while. I'm not getting any younger and you can see, to be fair to the gaffer, he wants to make it more youthful, which obviously had its benefits during the World Cup." He has told Southgate he also wishes to concentrate on his club football and his family. "Gareth said that he felt I still had a lot to offer, and we've not shut the door completely. If the worst came to happen anderyone was injured, then obviously I wouldn't say no." Chelsea defender Cahill said: "I can see it is now going to a younger generation and I think it is the perfect time for me to take a step back," Cahill told Chelsea TV. I've been hugely honoured to play for my country and I would never shut the door. I've said that if there are injuries in the future and I'm needed to come and play then, of course, I'm available."

Thursday, 30 August 2018, 2.00pm - At St. George's Park, Gareth Southgate names his first England squad since the World Cup Finals. Southgate has retained the bulk of the Finals squad, with 18 of the 23 keeping their places. Joe Gomez, Adam Lallana and James Tarkowski all return, as does goalkeeper Alex McCarthy. Their is also a recall for Luke Shaw. The five that miss out are the aforementioned Cahill and Vardy, Phil Jones and Nick Pope miss out through injury and Ashley Young, who has been left out to allow the younger members to participate. Southgate: "With us only being three games into the season, I felt some continuity was important. Those who were with us in the summer deserve the right to go again."

Monday, 3 September 2018 - 22 of the 23 man squad arrive at St. George's Park. The only member who has not is Manchester City's Raheem Sterling, who has withdrawn because of a back problem. Southgate has no plans to call up a replacement.

Tuesday, 4 September 2018 - Dominic Solanke has joined in the first day of training, whereas Adam Lallana has returned to Liverpool to have a groin strain assessed by staff. Also missing from training was goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. Southgate has called up the uncapped Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli as cover. His call up comes just nine days after making his Premier League debut, after starting the season behind first choice keeper, Fabri.

Thursday, 6 September 2018 - A day after training was held behind closed doors, today's training included two members of the under-20 squad. Eddie Nketiah and Marcus Tavernier.
