Ali, George and Dave run through the biggest selection decisions and the players generating the most clamour for Thomas Tuchel's next England squad, announced on Friday ahead of Nations League games against Croatia and world champions Spain.

Should Middlesbrough striker Will Lankshear get his first senior call-up after scoring 13 goals in 13 Championship games? George certainly thinks so.

One of the biggest questions surrounds Cole Palmer. After Tuchel’s pointed comments during the last camp, does Palmer come straight back in? Or could Noni Madueke be preferred with Bukayo Saka injured?

Could Kobbie Mainoo, Adam Wharton or Jordan Henderson force their way back into midfield? Could Ben White and Levi Colwill return with Trevoh Chalobah and Jarrad Branthwaite doubts?

On Friday, we’ll be at Wembley to react to Tuchel’s actual squad.

Harry Kane has just won the Ballon d’Or and remains the best goalscorer we've ever had. But eventually, England will have to work out what comes next. Ali, George and David look ahead to life after Kane.

Who are the potential replacements? Could Jude Bellingham eventually play as a nine? Is Morgan Rogers a better option? Could Anthony Gordon develop into a centre forward? And what about the next generation? Liam Delap, Will Lankshear, Divin Mubama, Shim Mheuka, Alejandro Gomes Rodríguez and Brian Madjo.
