Also included in the travelling party in 19-year-old England youth goalkeeper Nathan Trott, who will provide back-up for first-team stoppers Joe Hart and Adrian.

However full-back Aaron Cresswell is OUT of the game, having failed to be included; he joins the likes of Andy Carroll, Manuel Lanzini, Michail Antonio and Cheikhou Kouyate on what is already a sizeable injury list.
