Madueke's goal.

 

That would be a logical decision but promoting an U21 like Rogers is probably more likely.

 

Not until either Hall is promoted or Shaw returns I suspect.

 

Why? You keep saying this but it’s simply conjecture

 

Ward-Prowse send off for a second yellow as his career declines. Funny how not long ago some were adamant that he should play for England.

 

Just how the FA seem to dislike calling up players as replacements unless really needed.

 

Was thinking that. He would have walked into the England team 5 years ago. Now he wouldn't get anywhere near the squad

 

What makes you think that was an FA policy and not simply the former managers choice? Why would the FA be against calling up replacements?

 

Madueke injured now.

Replacements would surely be needed if three or more withdraw as haivng a smaller bench is just so unprofessional

 

I’m not sure. Hopefully Carsley either can freely do so or if the FA resist can overrule them.

 

Ah so it is pure conjecture, glad we cleared that up.

 

Colwill came off injured too

 

And if he pulls out he absolutely will need replacing. Probably by Hall with the squad only having three centre backs.

 

Maddison scores.

 

There's no logic at all to the idea that the FA has been randomly making those decisions over the manager's head. Bizarre piece of guesswork.

 

Nuno on Morgan Gibbs-White injury for #NFFC: "We are worried about him. He is going to have a scan tomorrow. We are hoping it is nothing serious so he can go to the [England] squad."

Nuno Espirito Santo on Gibbs-White: "We are worried, he is going to be assessed, we hope he joins the England squad so he can join and play. We need him. It was an ankle problem."

Maresca on Colwill and Madueke injury concerns: "I think they are both okay when they went inside. I have not seen them but I think they are okay."

 

England generally name oversized squads, presumably with the presumption there will be a few drop outs.

The underage squads which tend to be smaller always readily have replacements ready to go so it's clearly not fa lead.

 

The squad will meet up and have their first training season tomorrow. The press conferences are scheduled for 20.45pm BST on Wednesday and 18.30 BST on Saturday.

 

Kane goes off now not long after receiving treatment.

 

Gallagher starts for Atletico Madrid.
