England manager Gareth Southgate will announce his 23-man squad for the World Cup in Russia on Wednesday, 16 May. England start their Group G campaign against Tunisia on 18 June, before games against Panama on 24 June and Belgium on 28 June.
Southgate's side were unbeaten in winning their qualifying group, with eight wins and two draws. They will play Nigeria on 2 June and Costa Rica on 7 June in home friendlies before leaving for Russia. Southgate is unable to call up Liverpool pair Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joe Gomez, who have been ruled out through injury.
