MANCHESTER, England : England are no strangers to key injuries casting a shadow over preparations for a major soccer tournament, but this time around, it is the sheer volume of them that is giving coach Gareth Southgate the severest of headaches.

"I will try and not rule myself out," he told The Sun newspaper."The Chelsea medical staff have not given me a percentage of my chance of being back for the World Cup. It's down to how I feel closer to the time and how stable it is."
On the other flank, another Chelsea full back, Ben Chilwell, limped off in the Champions League against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday. He also faces a race against time to be fit.
