    Real Madrid had planned to sign England right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, 25, on a free transfer next summer when his contract with Liverpool expires, but might move for him in January after Spain defender Dani Carvajal, 32, sustained a serious knee injury. (Sport - in Spanish), external

    Kane would be a huge blow

    “Harry Kane will be examined by the England doctors as final diagnosis is still pending”.

    Could be a blessing in disguise. I can't get on board with the idea that we should drop him, but we do need to develop ways to play without him - both for future planning and so that we can change the dynamic of games when he's struggling.

    That future way is Foden as the spearhead - Saka, Palmer, Grealish -
    Mainoo, Gomes
    Name any four defenders and GK

    Normally that suggests Kane will be involved but I am sure they was a time where a player (Saka maybe) was in the arrival photos and then ruled out soon after.

    On Instagram there are also photos of Colwill, Watkins and Rice.

    It is almost as if arrival photos happen before players are assessed :ninja:

    Who knows but I doubt it. Bellingham's unlikely to be crowded out anytime soon unless his head falls off, Grealish is 29 (albeit not reliant on pace, so he may have a decent while left), and I can't really see a Foden spearhead as a long-term option; maybe if the cupboard is completely bare up front post-Kane, but it's not a prospect that fills me with confidence. And there will inevitably be even younger players who'll come through in the next few years, which makes it near impossible to predict with any accuracy.

    Did he ever show interest in Nigeria? These African reports are always a bit iffy at best.

    What a surprise no replacements. So we won’t even have a full bench and only three centre backs. to Shows to memit’san FA rather than managerial decision.

    I bet we going to get Trent or Saka at left back at some point as Carsley teased

    Lewis therefore has to start on Thursday at left back or we might have the first England bench in many years with no centre backs on it. (And only two defenders overall).
    We also have more forwards than defenders yet we start 4 defenders and 3 forwards.

    I don't think that means all three centre-backs can't start. If one has to go off then someone else can just move over. I expect a Trent, Stones, Guehi, Colwill back four on Thursday.

    That becomes very messy and it’s frankly embarrassing the team won’t have a full bench at least.
