ENGLAND SQUAD IN FULL

Southgate spoke about his decision to drop Phillips at a news conference: "I think he knows exactly what we think of him. A good version of him is an important player for us. We don't have many players of that profile."Unfortunately, his form just hasn't been good enough. I've spoken to him, he knows that. I said to him towards the end of last year, if he didn't play at City, it was going to be a problem."

WHAT SOUTHGATE SAID ABOUT PHILLIPS

Southgate also spoke about his decision to call up Branthwaite: "He's played consistently well. We watched him as a back-up centre-half for the under-21s. If you said a year ago he would consistently play in the Premier League, I would have been surprised. Credit to Sean Dyche. He's in on merit. We're looking forward to having a look at him."

WHAT SOUNDS SAID ABOUT BRANTHWAITE 

The latest call up is the last chance for players to impress Southgate and try to secure a place on the plane for Euro 2024. The two friendlies are England's final games before Southgate names his 23-man squad for this summer's European Championship in Germany.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

England's first game is against Brazil at Wembley on Saturday, March 23. The Three Liones play Belgium three days later at the same venue.
