Diary

Thursday, 9 November 2023 - Gareth Southgate names his 25-man squad, the last squad of 2023. It sees a recall for Newcastle United's Callum Wilson, who replaces Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah, who picked up an injury last week. However, Wilson, also picked up an injury in United's recent loss to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. James Maddison and Bukayo Saka make the squad despite their recent injury concerns. Raheem Sterling misses out on a fifth consecutive squad, despite calls for his inclusion. John Stones does miss out because of injury. Reece James, who is still recovering from injury, was told by his club that he could not be considered for a recall while he recuperates.

Friday morning, 10 November 2023 - James Maddison has withdrawn from the England squad with an ankle injury. The 26 year-old sustained the injury in Tottenham's loss to Chelsea on Monday. His club have said that Maddison will remain at Hotspur Way for rehabilitation with their own medical staff.

Saturday, 11 November 2023 - In the first League programme since the announcement of the squad, there are varying fortunes for members of the squad. By far the happiest will be Harry Kane who scored yet another brace for Bayern Munich, making him the first player in Bundesliga history to score seventeen goals in the first 11 matchdays. There are appearances also for Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, who helped Arsenal secure victory.  Jordan Pickford's Everton were victorious over Sam Johnstone's Crystal Palace, which also featured Marc Guéhi. Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford both featured as Manchester United secured another victory. Fikayo Tomori was involved in AC Milan's draw and Kieran Trippier was involved in Newcastle United's defeat.
However, Jude Bellingham, Jordan Henderson and Callum Wilson both miss out on their respective matchday squads. Aaron Ramsdale remained on the bench.
Bellingham is expected to be out for the next two weeks after he was diagnosed with 'instability in his left shoulder, as a result of a recent dislocation.' There is no official word from the England camp.

Sunday, 12 November 2023 - More Premier League matches today involving squad members. Both Jarrod Bowen and Ollie Watkins are on the scoresheet for their respective sides. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Phil Foden and Kyle Walker all feature, as does Jack Grealish, off the substitutes bench. However, Levi Colwill misses out because of his injury.

Monday, 13 November 2023 - Ezri Konsa, Cole Palmer and Rico Lewis have all received their first call-ups to the senior squad. Aston Villa's defender Konsa was a FIFA U20 World Cup winner. Chelsea forward Palmer has represented various levels of England youth, as has Manchester City's Lewis. Their addition follows the withdrawal of Maddison (ankle), Lewis Dunk (groin) and Callum Wilson (hamstring). The rest of the squad will arrive at St. George's Park today for medical assessments.

Tuesday, 14 November 2023 - Jude Bellingham (shoulder) and Levi Colwill (also shoulder) have both, as expected, withdrawn from the squad because of injury and returned to their clubs for rehabilitation. Marcus Rashford and Kalvin Phillips have yet to arrive at St. George's Park, and will join up later in the week as they deal with personal matters.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Gallagher and Harry Maguire are carrying out personal recovery programmes and have not trained with the remaining members of the squad at a rainy St. George's Park.

Thursday, 16 November 2023 - Training continues at St. George's Park as under-21 captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis joins the seniors in today's session. It is the final outing at St. George's Park this year. They relocate to Tottenham Hotspur's Training Centre in Enfield in the evening.

Friday, 17 November 2023 - England 2 Malta 0 - Already-qualified England gained an unconvincing victory over Malta at Wembley to boost their hopes of being seeded for Euro 2024 next summer. Phil Foden's pull-back was diverted into his own net by Malta defender Enrico Pepe after only eight minutes, but Gareth Southgate's side failed to register a single shot on target in the opening hour against a nation ranked 171st in the world. However, England did produce a bit of quality in the 75th minute to seal victory through Harry Kane. It came after a fine one and two-touch passing move involving Kyle Walker, Foden and Bukayo Saka, who set up skipper Kane for his 62nd international goal. Declan Rice thought he had added a third, excellently curling low into the bottom corner, but the goal was ruled out following a check by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) as Kane, standing in the goalkeeper's line of sight, was adjudged offside. Chelsea forward Cole Palmer made his debut in the second half at a packed national stadium.

Sunday, 19 November 2023 - 22 players that make up the England squad are training at Tottenham Hotspur Training Centre, after Kieron Trippier withdraws from the squad to deal with a personal matter.
Then 21 of the squad leave at 2.54pm from London Stanstead onboard flight ZT621 bound for Skopje International Airport flying on a Titan AIrways Airbus A321-211 (G-POWN) AWC621, arriving at 5.06pm (6.06pm local time).
It is revealed that Jarrod Bowen did not travel and has also withdrawn from the squad after picking up a slight  injury.
