NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Alan Shearer has named his England World Cup starting XI, insisting Kieran Trippier is an absolute must for Gareth Southgate’s defence in Qatar.
The final squad for this winter’s competition is set to be unveiled on Thursday with a number of Premier League stars still in a race to be fit in time.
Chelsea’s Reece James is among those having suffered a knee injury in September with Manchester City star Kyle Walker also recovering from a groin problem.
With doubts over their fitness, it could open up space for Trippier at right-back with the Newcastle United star enjoying an excellent campaign in his favoured role this season.
