On Monday, November 14, one week before England’s opening Group B game against Iran on November 21, all 26 players selected to represent England at the 2022 World Cup will report for duty.

While Bellingham plays on Friday for Dortmund, the other 25 members of the squad have games on Saturday or Sunday for their Premier League clubs.
Support personnel and coaches under Gareth Southgate will go to St. George’s Park this weekend to begin preparing for the arrival of the players on Monday.
The following day, on Tuesday, November 15th, everyone will rush to catch a flight to Qatar.
Due to the limited time available, England will not be playing any tune-up games before the event.
The following 26 players have been selected for England’s squad: Disaggregation by the club. A possible starting XI for England at the World Cup. How do the English get to the final of the World Cup?

During the summer, David Beckham and Gary Neville, his former club and national teammate, stayed at the hotel. Isolation is what you seek. To put it simply, this is the ideal scenario.
