“Good” news everyone — there will be a Tottenham Hotspur presence in the England squad for this cycle. England interim manager Lee Carsley released the final Three Lions squad for the upcoming international break, and Dominic Solanke has retained his place in the squad.

I will continue to assert that off-cycle international football sucks and is mostly pointless, but if you’re Dominic Solanke you’re undoubtedly thrilled. Solanke pushed his way back into England’s good graces on the back of some strong performances after making a move to Spurs from Bournemouth this summer, and there’s little question he deserves to be in there, albeit behind Harry Kane in the pecking order.
That said, I’d much rather he stay home and get some deserved rest during the upcoming international break, considering Spurs are a little thin right now due to injury and would be in a world of hurt should he go down with an injury. But that opinion plus £5 gets me a Starbucks latte and I’m screaming into the void, so whatever.
England play two Nations League qualifiers next week — at Greece on November 14, and host Ireland on November 17.
