Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze set to be named in Gareth Southgate's extended England squad of 55 PLAYERS for the World Cup... after a devastating Achilles rupture ruled him out of contention for Euro 2020

Eberechi Eze is expected to be named in England's provisional World Cup squad this week as the Crystal Palace attacker makes a late run for Qatar.

Eze is back on Gareth Southgate's radar following an impressive start to the Premier League season with the Selhurst Park club.

Southgate is due to name an extended squad of up to 55 players, which will then be whittled down to 26 ahead of the tournament, by Friday.
