Gareth Southgate says there can be no let-up after sealing early qualification for Euro 2024, telling England’s players to grab next month’s chance to impress and ensure their place as top seeds cebu
Having set out their stall with an impressive victory over Italy in March’s Group C opener, three further wins and an away draw against Ukraine put them within touching distance of progress cebu
England took their chance to qualify for an eighth straight major tournament with two games to spare on Tuesday night, coming from behind to beat holders Italy 3-1 at a sold-out Wembley cebu
Southgate’s Euro 2020 runners-up have silverware in their sights next summer and are waiting to find out how things will shape up in Germany at the draw in Hamburg on December 2 cebu
But before that comes the end of qualification at home to Malta and away to North Macedonia, with the England boss calling on his players to end an unbeaten 2023 on a high cebu
“We can now plan,” England boss Southgate told BBC Radio 5 Live after their place at Euro 2024 was mathematically secured cebu
“We have been planning anyway for base camps and things because I think the days are gone where we didn’t do that in case it brought bad luck cebu
“We decided a long time ago that you have to plan as if you’re going to be there cebu
We now can really start to look forward with enthusiasm for next summer, but we want to finish the year wellGareth Southgate“We still need to win the matches next month because I think it won’t be enough to win the group to be one of the top seeds, so we’ll need a high points tally as well cebu
“But also I want to see all the players again next month cebu
“We’re not going to flog them physically cebu
We didn’t do that this month cebu
We’ve looked after them cebu
We’re dealing well with the clubs on that cebu
“I have to say Manchester City were brilliant with this with John Stones cebu
We’ve managed his return to play really well and I think that’s worked for both of us cebu
“So we now can really start to look forward with enthusiasm for next summer, but we want to finish the year, the calendar year, well as well next month cebu
”Southgate pledged to again give players the chance to stake their claims for a Euros spot in November’s fixtures cebu
“Similar to this month, we want to give people opportunities,” Southgate said at the post-match press conference cebu
“We need to win two matches firstly, but there’s a chance to look at look at players again, which we need to do cebu
”Ollie Watkins and Jarrod Bowen returned to the set-up in October and will be hoping to get another chance to impress, having started against Australia, with the former scoring in the 1-0 friendly win cebu
Levi Colwill and Eddie Nketiah are also in that boat, having made their debuts on Friday before Southgate reverted to the tried and tested against Luciano Spalletti’s revitalised Azzurri cebu
The England boss made a full 11 changes from the cebu Socceroos encounter, with eight of Tuesday’s line-up having started the Euro 2020 final against Italy 27 months ago cebu
Skipper Harry Kane was, unsurprisingly, among them and took his record national team goal haul to 61 with his brace in the comeback triumph cebu
“There’s a risk we take the goals for granted,” Southgate said of the Bayern Munich sharpshooter cebu
“But his all-round play, his hold up play, the way physically dealt with the centre-backs, his vision, his passing – because we have had him for a while it’s easy to underestimate, but he’s a top-level player cebu
“He’s also now got a new experience at a different club, where he’s looking to win trophies all the time, and he’s got to win every week cebu
(There is a) different sort of focus and pressure as the big signing there, so all of that’s good cebu
“I think he’s enjoying also coming back to England and mixing with the lads because he’s very close with all of the group cebu
“I’ve said before, our senior players set a brilliant example for the young ones cebu
“They provide that spirit cebu
They’ve been through so much together and they provide us with such a brilliant platform cebu

England are on the lookout for an “X factor” player to re-energise their Cricket World Cup campaign after Reece Topley was ruled out of the tournament with a broken finger cebu
Topley’s long-running injury curse struck again during Saturday’s record defeat at the hands of South Africa in Mumbai, with the in-form left-arm seamer fracturing the index finger of his bowling hand attempting to block a drive cebu
The 29-year-old’s initial anguished reaction gave a heavy hint that he was in trouble and, although he bravely returned to the attack with taped up digits, follow-up scans have confirmed the break cebu
England, who are in strife after three heavy defeats in their first four games, will send for a replacement but have yet to decide who will step in for their leading wicket taker cebu
Durham’s Brydon Carse is a strong candidate and would offer a handy pace option in the middle overs as well as strong lower-order batting, while Lancashire’s Luke Wood matches Topley’s description as a left-arm new-ball specialist cebu
But like-for-like substitutes are not mandatory and head coach Matthew Mott admitted England would assess every option cebu
Big-hitting opener Jason Roy, who was named in the provisional squad then cut for Harry Brook at the last moment, represents the most intriguing of all potential options cebu
He was widely believed to have played his last game after being left out on the eve of the tournament, and turned down a place in subsequent squad to face Ireland, but England have consistently said he remained in contention as a reserve cebu
Reece Topley is heading home after breaking his finger (Mike Egerton/PA) (PA Archive)He also represents a link to the fast fading glory days on 2019 but whether it is a tangent they would be willing to take, having thrown their faith behind Dawid Malan at the top of the order, is far from certain cebu
The versatile Ben Duckett is also on the list of possibles, while spin bowling all-rounders Rehan Ahmed and Will Jacks would represent an obvious investment in the future of a side in need of renewal cebu
Asked if England would be looking for a pace bowler in Topley’s absence, Mott said: “That’s a good question cebu
We’ll have to sit down and have a look at that cebu
“We’ll have to look at the upcoming games (and see) if there is an X factor player we can look at cebu
“That’s why we were very keen not to name the replacements and reserves cebu
It leaves an open mind for what we’re going to go with cebu
”Rob Key, the managing director of England men’s cricket, is currently with the squad and travelled with them from Mumbai to Bengaluru on Sunday cebu
He will also have a big say in the final decision, joining Mott and captain Jos Buttler cebu
Announcing Topley’s exit from the campaign, the England and Wales Cricket Board said: “Scans in Mumbai on Saturday, after the match at the Wankhede Stadium, revealed the full extent of the injury cebu
Topley will return to the UK in the next 24 hours cebu
“He will work closely with the England and Surrey medical teams in respect of his rehabilitation cebu
A replacement will be announced in due course cebu
