news Kick-off times, route to final, and latest injury news for Qatar

What is the latest injury news? James Maddison handed Gareth Southgate an unwelcome injury scare over the weekend when he hobbled off in the 27th minute at the London Stadium on

Saturday. Yet those concerns were alleviated by the sight of Maddison, who had opened the scoring, reappearing in the dugout at full-time and a positive prognosis from Leicester

manager Brendan Rodgers. Southgate has opted not to take a gamble on the injured Reece James but Manchester City duo Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips are included in the traveling

squad. Maddison sat out training on Thursday as staff week to manage his workload, but Phillips and Walker have been involved. Walker is expected to be back in action by the end of

the group stage. England's Group B opponents Wales reached the World Cup finals in dramatic style via the qualifying play-offs, after beating an impassioned Ukraine side in Cardiff

in June. Victory for Wales' talent-studded golden generation booked them a trip to the nation's second ever World Cup finals – their first since 1958. USA also make their return

infighting while head coach Dragan Skocic has been replaced by former manager Carlos Queiroz, who oversaw the team's group stage knock-out in Russia. World Cup schedule If England

favorites to win Group D, over Australia, Tunisia and Australia, and would face the Group C runner-up out of Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico or Poland to win the chance to face

England in the quarter-finals, should Southgate's men make it out of the last-16 knockout round. If England reached the semi-finals, they could meet either Belgium or Portugal,

strong contenders in Group F and H, and a potential final could see England meet Spain, Brazil, or Germany the World Cup final. If England finish as runners-up in Group B This
