UEFA Nations League: Players who could earn shock England call-ups to Gareth Southgate’s squad
There could be surprising inclusions in Gareth Southgates England squad for their Nations League semi-final clash against the Netherlands on June 6.At least 11 of his group could be involved for Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in Champions League and Europa League finals that take place on June 1 and May 29, respectably.Getty7

Gareth Southgate faces a potential selection headache ahead of England’s Nations League semi-final

Eric Dier, Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Kieran Trippier, Danny Rose, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson, Danny Welbeck, Ross Barkley and Ruben Loftus-Cheek may all feature for their clubs just days before England play in Portugal.It is not an ideal scenario for Southgate, who previously admitted it would be a mess if one or two English clubs reached the Champions League final.

In March, he said: It could be a mess.Lets say if two of our teams made it to the Champions League final then we wouldnt see them, at best, until the Monday before we play on the Thursday.”So, if Southgate wants fresh legs, who could be in line for an unexpected call-up?

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace)

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has made two appearances for England’s Under-21 side

Wan-Bissaka is unfortunate to be competing against Kyle Walker, Alexander-Arnold and Trippier for a place in the senior squad.Given Trippiers inconsistent form since the 2018 World Cup, the right-back could be forgiven for feeling hard done by after missing out on the Czech Republic and Montenegro wins in March.Wan-Bissaka, 21, has started 35 Premier League games this season, showing consistency and maturity beyond his years. It is surely a matter of time before the youngster earns a senior cap.

Ryan Bertrand (Southampton)

Ryan Bertrand’s last England appearance came in a goalless draw with Brazil in November 2017

Bertrand criticised Gareth Southgates oversight after he failed to make the 23-man World Cup squad last summer and March 2018 remains the last time he was called up. But with Rose playing in a Champions League final just five days before the Netherlands clash, Bertrand could be recalled. After returning from a three-month injury lay-off in February, he helped Southampton to huge wins over Tottenham and Wolves to preserve the clubs top-flight status.

James Maddison (Leicester)

James Maddison recieved his first senior England call-up last October, but never made his debut

After his impressive debut season in the Premier League, a call-up to the senior side wouldnt be too shocking. He was left out of the senior squad in March as Southgate said the 22-year-olds No.10 position did not fit into Englands current formation (4-4-3).Since Brendan Rodgers appointment at the King Power Stadium, Maddison has successfully played in a midfield three alongside Wilfred Ndidi and Youri Tielemans.Could a senior England debut be around the corner for the playmaker?

Conor Coady (Wolves)

Conor Coady plays in the middle of a three-man defence for Wolves

Joe Gomez, who is likely to be on the bench against Tottenham, is England’s only centre-back playing in the Champions League or Europa League final, however, it could still be difficult for Southgate to ignore Coadys terrific season.He was just one of three outfield players to play every minute of the 2018/19 Premier League campaign as he captained Wolves to a seventh-placed finish in their first season back in the top-flight.He and his team-mates will be playing European football next term if Watford fail to beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final this weekend, live on talkSPORT. Coady is a ball-playing defender and seems ready-made for Southgates England squad.

Phil Foden (Manchester City)

Phil Foden scored in a vital 1-0 win over Tottenham last month

Pep Guardiola started Foden against Tottenham and Leicester in their title run-in, a sign of how much the Spaniard trusts him.The 18-year-old scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Spurs before lasting 56 minutes in another 1-0 victory against Leicester. Southgate has put his faith in youth before after selecting and playing Callum Hudson-Odoi, 18, against the Czech Republic and Montenegro in March.Foden, who made 26 appearances in the 2018/19 season, could be the next youngster to star for England.

Jack Grealish (Aston Villa)

Jack Grealish could be a Premier League player next season

Explaining his reasoning behind Grealishs previous omissions from the England squad, Southgate stressed the midfielder must play in the Premier League to be considered for a call-up.The 23-year-old has been Aston Villas star man this season and his quality was on show once more in the clubs 2-1 Championship play-off semi-final first leg win over West Brom on Saturday.Grealish assisted Conor Hourihanes equaliser before winning a penalty, which Tammy Abrahams converted for the winner.He also scored a penalty in their shootout win at West Brom in the second leg as Villa went through to Wembley on Tuesday night.By the end of the month, Grealish could be a Premier League player and on the verge of an England cap.
