We are already only 100 days away from the start of Euro 2020, and national team coaches are selecting and forming the best possible group for the prestigious competition. At this point the dilemmas are numerous. Especially for the number 1 bench of "3 Lions", Gareth Southgate.
The English national team coach has plenty of issues to resolve and important decisions to make. One of them has to do with the headlines in the attack. Given that Harry Kane most likely has confirmed his place as center-forward on the English front, the fight for a position on the attacking wings will be fierce. This is because England is really "blessed" with talents in this position. Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford have all shown that they have the right skills to contribute to the front line of attack of the "3 Lions".
Who will Gareth Southgate choose?
Doing the paperwork, the least favored to launch him as a starter is Jadon Sancho. Despite the Dortmund player having recorded 11 goals and 16 assists with his club so far, lack of experience in national and major competitions somewhat penalizes him. However Sancho could have a huge impact on England if he enters the field as a substitute at some point.
Another scenario Southgate needs to consider is a possible Harry Kane injury. In this case, a replacement alternative for the center of attack could be Everton player Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Calvert-Lewin has scored 18 times for his team this season, showing consistency in form.
An ideal scenario that would give all the strikers the opportunity to be active would be one where England would go as far as Euro 2020. Why not in the final. This would translate into more activation minutes for everyone. However, the fate of the English attacking trio remains to be seen.
