Gareth Southgate says James Maddison is in the England squad because he is a 'good player and he's earned the right' to be on the team. The England manager adds that Maddison 'can give something different to the other attacking players on the team'.
"I think at various stages there have been conversations, debates about James - there's been moments where ahead of the Euros I don't think he was in contention and September was probably a fair debate, but I think he's playing as well as any of the attacking players in this country."
"We've had to cover a couple of players that aren't yet fully fit, so having 26 available meant we were probably able to take a couple of risks that you might not have been able to with 23, but we think the balance is there and we've got cover in the positions we need.
Their second match is against the USA on 25 November, followed by a final group game with Wales on 29 November. Both games start at 7pm. If England make it through as group winners, their knockout game will be on 4 December, and on 3 December if they finish second.
