On Friday, the Three Lions suffered the ignominy of relegation from the Nations League’s top tier after a tepid defeat to Italy that raises further concern ahead of the winter World Cup.

Among the favourites to triumph in Qatar having reached the semi-finals four years ago and the Euro 2020 final, things have gone awry for Gareth Southgate’s side of late.

England failed to win any of their four June fixtures and produced a meek response to their 4-0 Molineux mauling against Hungary, with Giacomo Raspadori sealing Roberto Mancini’s Italy a 1-0 victory on Friday night.

A fifth straight match without a win means Southgate’s men have been relegated from Group A of the Nations League – a competition they finished third in three years ago – with a game to spare.

Southgate’s side have scored just one goal in five games and will hope to put a poor run behind them against Germany tonight.

Team news

Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been left out of the squad for England’s final match before the World Cup.

England’s 28-man selection had to be cut to a matchday squad of 23 for the Group A3 fixture tonight, with Alexander-Arnold the most eye-catching omission.

The 23-year-old was an unused substitute in Milan and the 17-cap full-back has struggled to transfer his Liverpool form to the international level under Southgate.

Alexander-Arnold’s exclusion casts fresh doubt over his chances of making the World Cup, especially as other right-back options Reece James, Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier have been relied upon more often.

AC Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomori, Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse and West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen joined Alexander-Arnold in being left out of the squad list published by UEFA.

Manchester City playmaker Jack Grealish will also be absent against Germany due to suspension.
