Clarets and England World Cup squad

Due to be announced at 2 today.

Telegraph says in one article
He has already let Wilshere, Hart and Bertrand know that they won't be going to Russia, which leaves two outfield spots free (presuming Nick Pope goes as third-choice goalkeeper).

In another
Alexander-Arnold has been rewarded for his superb form in Liverpool’s run to the Champions League final and his inclusion, along with Cahill, could mean there is a surprise omission from Southgate’s squad.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart and midfielder Jack Wilshere have been told they have been left out, while Ryan Bertrand, Jake Livermore and James Tarkowski are all likely to be on standby.

Fingers crossed for both Clarets.

Pope in the 23 man squad.

Heaton and Tarkowski on stand by.

Tarkowski will be going because Sick Note Jones will throw one in!

Good news for Nick, sorry for Jack but hope for some injuries to let Tom (not to Nick!) and James get to Russia.
Of ex Clarets, if they count - Keane didn’t make it, but Tripps and Cahill did.

Squad
Goalkeepers: Jack Butland (Stoke), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley).

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Kyle Walker, John Stones (Manchester City), Harry Maguire (Leicester), Kieran Trippier, Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), Phil Jones, Ashley Young (Manchester United).

Midfielders: Eric Dier, Dele Alli (both Tottenham Hotspur), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Fabian Delph (Manchester City), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea).

Forwards: Jamie Vardy (Leicester), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Danny Welbeck (Arsenal) Harry Kane (Tottenham).

Standby: Tom Heaton, James Tarkowski (Burnley), Lewis Cook (Bournemouth), Jake Livermore (West Brom) and Adam Lallana (Liverpool).

Nick must get his first cap in one of the two friendlies, you don’t want a first cap in the heat of a Cup competition.

I feel really sorry for Tom.

He looked nailed on for England, now his entire future is up in the air.

I can't understand how Jones and Cahill are ahead of Tarks.

But to be honest, I have little interest in this World Cup. Russia should never have got the gig and I have zero respect for FIFA.

I share your sentiments 1959_60.

Totally agree

Time will tell I suppose, I am thankful that "new" players have been given a chance.
