Southgate welcomes England selection headache against Croatia

The Three Lions need to win to qualify for the Nations League Finals, with the manager unsure of his team selection for Sunday's game

Gareth Southgate does not mind being given a selection headache by the emergence of fresh talent into the England squad.

Southgate's side host Croatia at Wembley on Sunday with a place in the inaugural Nations League Finals up for grabs, while the losing team will be relegated from League A.

Harry Maguire and Kieran Trippier both started the World Cup semi-final between the sides in July, the latter opening the scoring with a wonderful free-kick, but the defensive duo missed out on Southgate's squad through injury.
