Gareth Southgate has included Webster (27) in his squad. Webster is a defender in the back three for Brighton. It is similar to England, and fellow footballers Danny Welbeck and Lewis Dunk have also been selected. Reports suggest Callum Wilson (Newcastle), James Maddison (Leicester), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea) have been included. Cobham has pushed Trevoh Chalobah to push for his place in the team, and we expect Trevoh to be a part of the squad. However, his close aides are staying mum about his situation.
Big-name players
We expect the England manager to name his 26-man squad soon, on November 10, before their clash with Iran. England faces Iran on November 21, and we expect them to play the same squad they played against Germany and Italy in the Nations League matches. England will probably have to replace Reece James (Chelsea) as he is injured. James Reece believes he can make it and has not ruled himself out of the race yet.
