Sanguine Good stat this.
When Jude Bellingham came on for his England debut against Ireland, he became one of the 4th pair of non-British club teammates to appear at the same time for England, with his Dortmund team-mate Jadon Sancho already on the pitch. The other such pairs are David Beckham and Michael Owen (Real Madrid, 7 times), Mark Hateley and Ray Wilkins (Milan, 4), and Hateley and Glenn Hoddle (Monaco, 1).

My only comment on this is that it is still the case after so many years of International football that so few English players plie their trade abroad.
Bellingham and Sancho are still very much the exceptions.
I suspect that nothing will change much whilst the Premier League remains just about the biggest gravy train in world football.

Royal Rother Stones must be brought back in.
He is so much better than Maguire.
But we know Southgate.

And he'll probably play Dier and Winks.

Royal Rother Barring injuries (and I suppose we should expect a good number to come in the next few months) Foden and Grealish should be nailed on starters.
Interestingly they appear to have been the 2 out of the long list of quality youngsters available to him, that Southgate has been slowest to bring into the fold. Seeing as they are now the best of that bunch, does that mean he's a poor judge or has he played a blinder, keeping them hungry to impress, mature, develop and demonstrate that they are better than the rest, week in week out... (which they have pretty much done now)?
A front 4 of Grealish, Sterling, Kane and Foden (with Sancho and Saka as backups) is mouth-watering.
I quite like what Calvert-Lewin brings to the squad, but it would be good if Vardy was available as backup to kane.

Sanguine Jamal Musiala scored in the CL for Bayern last night - will only intensify the race to cap this lad at senior level, for England and Germany.

Unfortunately Jamal wants to win things so, rather unsurprisingly, he’s just pledged his allegiance to Germany for future games. To be fair to him Germany is where he was born and he didn’t leave there until he was 7.

URZZZZ Will be interesting to see Southgate’s squad for the March games, seems to be a lot more players in the reckoning than usual for the Euros this summer, particularly for the striker and attacking midfield positions
It’s unfortunate we don’t quite have the same defensive depth as we do in the attacking areas, so no doubt we’ll be left with Dier again
At this point, what would everyone’s 23 man squad look like? I wonder how many (barring injuries) Southgate will 100% take at this point

I think I'd go for a 23 man squad of:
Pickford
Pope
Henderson - McCarthy
Walker
Keane
Stones
Maguire
James - Saka and Shaw, I do like James but just for better balance in defence
TAA
Saka or Shaw
Godfrey
Rice
Mount
Grealish - if fit
Henderson
Foden
Maddison
Dier - Antonio, really think he’d be a good wild card as a plan B as most of the attackers are fairly similar IMO and post lockdown, he’s been one of the better players in the Prem. Never expect it though
Kane
Sancho
DCL
Rashford
Sterling
Then would play
Pickford
TAA
Maguire
Stones
Godfrey
Rice
Grealish
Sterling
Foden/Maddison
Sancho
Kane

BR0B0T Does England have any CBs with a bit of pace? Is Stones quick?
