England boss Gareth Southgate says he can “take far fewer gambles” with his Euro 2024 squad compared to the previous two tournaments. Next year’s competition will see a return to relative normality after the delayed, Covid-impacted Euro 2020 and an unprecedented winter World Cup in Qatar. Increased 26-man squads were introduced for both of those tournaments, but UEFA has confirmed the size of selections will return to 23 players in Germany. “It makes it a different sort of thought process because you’ve had that leeway in the last couple of tournaments to take players that weren’t going to be fit for the first couple of games,” England boss Southgate said. “Or a bit of cover in certain positions that you might or might not have needed. “This time the physical conditioning of players is going to be really important. The ability for players to bat out six, seven games. “We know having been to the end of two tournaments that physically the demands on that is far greater than we would have known had we not been through that experience, so we know that is a huge requirement. We can take far fewer gambles than we were able to take for the last two tournaments where it was 26 England boss Gareth Southgate “If you can only sort of take two for each position, players that are adaptable are helpful, players that can play more than one position are helpful. “But equally players that are physically vulnerable we will have got to think very carefully about.” The enlarged selection at Euro 2020 helped Southgate include Jordan Henderson and Harry Maguire. The former had not played since the February due to groin surgery and the latter missed six weeks with an ankle injury, returning to action in England’s final group game and going onto be earn a place in the team of the tournament. As for Qatar, Southgate was able to include Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips despite a lack of fitness following groin and shoulder surgery respectively. Asked if players needed to be fit to be on the plane to Germany, he said: “I wouldn’t say all 23. “But we can take far fewer gambles than we were able to take for the last two tournaments where it was 26.” Long-serving number one Jordan Pickford is sure to be a key part of the squad next summer and is away with England at a time when his club side are in the headlines. It was announced in the hours before Friday’s 2-0 win against Malta that Everton had been deducted 10 points after being found to have breached Premier League financial rules. “I haven’t spoken to Jordan about it,” Southgate said ahead of Monday’s final Euro 2024 qualifier away to North Macedonia. “The rest at the minute is speculative, so we’ll just have to see as and when anything happens. “He has coped really well with a couple of really difficult seasons at Everton, where they’ve been in the lower reaches of the league. “So, if the ultimate decision is as has been said – I am guessing there will be some sort of appeal – then it’s a scenario he’s been through and actually been a really important player for.” Read More On this day in 2019: Mauricio Pochettino sacked by Tottenham Stephen Kenny confident with Republic of Ireland’s solid base for bright future England full-back Kieran Trippier not taking his place at Euro 2024 as a given Wout Weghorst fires Netherlands to Euro 2024 as Ireland end with whimper Saracens overcome injuries to England stars in thrashing of Harlequins Erling Haaland’s injury is not serious – Norway boss Stale Solbakken

Scotland welcome Norway to Hampden Park in their final Euro 2024 qualifier, although Steve Clarke’s side have already safely secured their passage to next summer’s tournament. Scotland’s marvellous start to qualifying saw them win their first five games, eventually securing their place at Euro 2024 when Spain beat Norway 1-0 last month, although they have begun to falter since – losing to England, Spain and France before needing an injury-time equaliser from Lawrence Shankland to snatch a draw in Georgia earlier this week. It took 87th and 89th-minute goals from Lyndon Dykes and Kenny McLean respectively for the Scots to nick a 2-1 win in Norway earlier in the qualification campaign but the visitors will be without talisman Erling Haaland this time round after he picked up a foot injury during the friendly win over Faroe Islands on Thursday. Scotland’s second place in the group, and automatic qualification for Euro 2024, is already secure but there are seeding implications to the otherwise dead rubber in Glasgow. If they beat Norway by two goals or more, they will almost certainly be in pot two, while a one-goal victory, a draw or a defeat will likely see them in pot three. However, the way things are shaping up, it does not look like there will be a major benefit to being in pot two as opposed to pot three.

Team news Erling Haaland’s absence is the big news after he failed to recover from a foot injury sustained against the Faroe Islands on Thursday. Without Haaland, Alexander Sorloth and Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard who remains out with an undisclosed issue, Norway may struggle to make attacking inroads, although Celta Vigo’s Strand Larsen will likely start and Mohamed Elyounoussi could be reintroduced on the left flank. Scotland didn’t suffer any further injury woe against Georgia on Thursday, although Kenny McLean impressed as a half-time substitute and may start. With first-choice goalkeeper Angus Gunn injured, Zander Clark was given the nod between the posts last time, so Liam Kelly may be tested on the international stage this time out. Stuart Armstrong and Lawrence Shankland are likely to come into contention for a start too after combining for the late equaliser in Tbilisi. Predicted line-ups Scotland XI: Kelly; Porteous, McKenna, Cooper; Ralston, Armstrong, McGregor, Taylor; McGinn, McTominay; Shankland Norway XI: Dyngeland; Ryerson, Ostigard, Ajer, Wolfe; Berge, Berg, Aursnes; Bobb, Larsen, Elyounoussi Odds Scotland win: 6/5 Draw: 21/10 Norway win: 5/2 Get latest odds and our tips here Prediction A Haaland-less Norway may struggle to pierce the Scottish defence and Steve Clarke’s men will ensure the Tartan Army can celebrate ending the qualifiers on a high.

F1 driver Lando Norris expressed his concerns about the Las Vegas Grand Prix track moments before his heavy crash during the race on Sunday (19 November). The McLaren driver lost control of his car at turn 12 of the new Las Vegas Strip Circuit, crashing into the wall, before spinning into the barrier. He told his engineer he was OK and was transferred to the circuit medical centre. In an interview with Sky Sports earlier today, Martin Brundle asked Norris: “How does the track feel?” He replies: “Pretty dreadful, just because it’s the least high temp we have had all weekend. Just because you’re pushing on an out-lap. Normally you don’t push on an out-lap. “It didn’t feel great, it should come back towards us. The track should improve a lot throughout the race.” Read More Adam Johnson’s fans chant his name in special tribute to former ice hockey star Verstappen calls Ocon a ‘stupid idiot’ in F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix qualifying tussle Usain Bolt declares ‘the speed is great’ as he attends F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix
