Diary

Tuesday, 28 September 2021 - Harry Maguire and Trent Alexander-Arnold are set to miss England's upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Centre-back Maguire is facing 'a few weeks' out with a calf injury, says Manchester United. Alexander-Arnold has a groin issue.

Thursday, 30 September 2021, 2.00pm - Gareth Southgate's names his 23 man squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifying matches against Andorra and Hungary. He has recalled defender Fikayo Tomori, who last played for England in November 2019, striker Ollie Watkins, who has not featured since being cut from the Euro 2020 squad, and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who was a member of that Euro 2020 squad. Manchester City's Phil Foden also returns after a foot injury.

Friday, 1 October 2021 - Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel expects Reece James to miss England duty through injury despite being selected. 'When I saw it I thought that maybe Reece goes with the water polo team for England, because right now he trains in the pool. So I was a bit surprised, but I understood that he was selected for the football team. This will not happen because Reece is training in the pool right now. So my understanding, my last information is that he will not go. So that can only be a misunderstanding, noting else.'

Monday, 4 October 2021 - As expected, Reece James had withdrawn from the England squad, instead, his Chelsea teammate has earned a recall. Ben Chilwell was part of the Euro 2020 squad, but was never called upon to make any appearance. Also drafted in is their former teammate, Tammy Abraham, who now plays for former Chelsea FC manager, José Mourinho, at AS Roma. The pair will join up with the rest of the squad tomorrow.

Tuesday, 5 October 2021 - Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse has replaced the injured Kalvin Phillips in the England squad. Phillips has withdrawn after picking up a calf injury in Leeds United's win on Saturday against Watford. Ward-Prowse is part of the 24 man squad arriving at St. George's Park.

Thursday, 7 October 2021 - After another morning training, the England squad leave for Andorra.

Friday, 8 October 2021 - The England team are training at the Estadi Nacional in glorious sunshine. However, three hours after leaving the pitch, a fire broke out on the television gantry. One of the dugouts had melted, while the video assistant monitor had been left burnt and walls blackened by the blaze. The fire service put the fire out, but the extent of the damage is not known. FAF confirmed that the match tomorrow will still go ahead.
