Gareth Southgate provides update on Kyle Walker and James Maddison availability

Gareth Southgate has provided an update on Kyle Walker and James Maddison availability ahead of England's World Cup opener.

The Three Lions will face Iran for their opener on Monday, November 21st.

Walker has been suffering from a groin injury and was named in the squad, although he was considered as doubt. Meanwhile, Maddison limped off for Leicester City in their final game before the World Cup break and has missed England's training sessions.

"Kyle Walker is a little bit short for this game but is progressing really well. We are ahead of where we thought he might be at this point," Southgate told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"James hasn’t been able to train since we arrived so he will not be able to make the game tomorrow.”
