Tottenham news
According to reports, these are the main players in contention for a starting spot in the team:
1) Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
A goal machine this season, surely Tottenham starlet Harry Kane has made a place upfront for England safe after his form in the Premier League?
2) Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
England’s captain and star player, Wayne Rooney should remain a key figure for his country despite some patchy form for Manchester United and being played out of position by Louis van Gaal.
3) Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)
A lethal finisher getting back to fitness after an injury-hit campaign, Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge surely remains a contender for a starting spot.
4) Danny Welbeck (Arsenal)
Having shown what he can do upfront for Arsenal against his old club Manchester United this week, Danny Welbeck may get a chance to continue his fine record for England.
5) Charlie Austin (Queens Park Rangers)
Like Kane, a surprise star of the Premier League this season, can Charlie Austin work his way past some big names after his superb form for QPR?
6) Danny Ings (Burnley)
Another talented young England striker, Danny Ings has impressed for Burnley this season and is wanted by some big clubs. Surely too good for the Under-21s now?
7) Rickie Lambert (Liverpool)
Not a regular for Liverpool this season, but Rickie Lambert has always impressed when given a chance for England and could still be in Roy Hodgson’s thinking.
8) Saido Berahino (West Bromwich Albion)
A controversial but talented young forward, West Brom’s Saido Berahino made it into the last England squad but could still be in with a chance of making his first appearance for the Three Lions.
