World Cup 2022 England squad: What will Three Lions team look like in Qatar?

Let's take a look at who we could all be cheering on in three-and-a-bit years' time

The 2022 World Cup is nearer than you think.

Okay, it's not that close just yet. And we don't even know how many teams will be playing in it or which countries it will be played in as Fifa continue to debate whether some matches will be played outside of Qatar.

We don't even know whether England themselves will be playing although with a 48-team expansion on the table it's safe to assume that even the famously flaky Three Lions will somehow stumble their way through qualification to take their place amongst the great, good and whoever qualifies from Oceania.

What we really don't know is who will be boarding that plane with Gareth Southgate, assuming again that the man who made us all whole again last summer hasn't gone the way of Messrs Eriksson, Capello and Hodgson by then of course.

This week sees our brave boys begin their next qualification campaign, for Euro 2020 this time. So with that in mind let's take a look at who we could all be cheering on in three-and-a-bit years' time.
