Ukraine haven't met up as a squad since September, such is the turmoil in their homeland. And again, he will be made to wait for his England debut. The age-old debate about which widemen to pick for England still applies. Nine goals in his last 12 games is a record worthy of an England debut. Southgate rarely makes late call-ups, but his refusal to do so here is a strange one. Kane will start up top again for sure.

England manager Gareth Southgate says he is disappointed not to have Marcus Rashford available for the upcoming Euro qualifiers against Ukraine.

Hopefully, Rashford comes back when United return to action after the international break. Southgate claimed his absence wouldn’t impact the side too much, which is funny, considering Rashford was overlooked on the bench in the latter stages of the World Cup not too long ago. Instead, Rashford has jetted off to New York with his girlfriend for some “downtime,” and we hope he enjoys the rest rather than involving himself in international matches when United still have a lot to play for this season.
