Gareth Southgate's doubts over England midfielder Phil Foden are being questioned again - with Sportsmail columnist Micah Richards insisting the Manchester City star can be thrown in the deep end with a World Cup start against Wales on Tuesday.

Also in today's WORLD CUP CONFIDENTIAL:

  • England's youngest ever defender Richards says the Three Lions 'should beat Wales 3-0 or 4-0' in the defining 'Battle of Britain' which will help decide Group B.
  • And Sportsmail's Ian Herbert believes Wales talisman Gareth Bale has lost his mojo at the Qatar tournament.
