There are four other players left out by Southgate, Crystal Palace sensational defender, Marc Guehi, Ben Chilwell of Chelsea and Liverpool’s captain Jordan Henderson. 

Manchester City defender, John Stones, is the other player who will not be in the squad to battle Italy tonight. The 28-year-old is suspended for the tie after the red card he picked up against Hungary the last time.
