NOT AS SQUEEZY AS IT LOOKS

ENGLAND managers have spent years trying to shoehorn all their best players into their starting line-up.

And Gareth Southgate is convinced that he can get. Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden into his team for the Euros this summer.

Bellingham has just won the Champions League and been Real Madrid's standout player in his first season since moving to the Bernabeu. His 20 goals also earned him the vote as La Liga's Player of the Year.

Foden helped Manchester City to their fourth consecutive title, scored 19 league goals while he scooped two Footballer of the Year awards from the Football Writers' Association and also the Premier League.

But both players have been at their best when in the middle and Foden has made it very clear that is where he sees himself, while leaving out Bellingham would also be unthinkable.

It has left England fans worried that they might not see the best of one or both of them at the Euros this summer as Southgate tries to find a winning formula.
