“Are we pleased to have Dominic [Calvert-Lewin] in our squad? Yeah, absolutely. He’s a very good centre-forward and he had a big impact for us in the Autumn so it’s good we’ve got him and Marcus [Rashford] who can play as nines in the team. They understand in terms of their challenge with Harry [Kane]. Obviously Marcus can play wide as well, but they understand who our best number nine is and the scoring pedigree and the importance to the team of Harry’s status and his role for us,” says England manager Gareth Southgate.
