October 10: Gareth Southgate has been talking about James Maddison, who has only been capped once by the England manager but who has claimed five Premier League goals and two assists this season.
“The door is open, there’s no question about that,” Southgate told Sky Sports. “We have a lot of good players and whoever I pick there’s always going to be debate about who we don’t pick. Whoever we do pick, we’ve got to leave people out to be able to pick those ones, that’s the complicated thing.
