Thomas Tuchel has drawn up an extensive list of 50 potential players for call-ups - but it includes just one current Liverpool player.

Elliot Anderson and Declan Rice are certainties, while Tuchel also has his sights set on Jordan Henderson, leaving perhaps one spot up for grabs for Adam Wharton and others.

There's likely room for one more striker alongside Harry Kane, and currently, that spot is anyone's game. England has just two friendlies in March - likely against Uruguay and Japan - before Tuchel faces the most challenging decision of all: naming his squad.
