It’s food for thought for Southgate.

He would surely like to have Vardy at his disposal – the Leicester talisman has the most goals, joint-most assists (four, with Rashford), best shot conversion, best shooting accuracy and best minutes per goal ratio of English strikers this season.

However, perhaps Rashford – who has had the most shots on target – would be a more realistic solution, with Vardy seemingly set on standing by the decision he made after the 2018 World Cup.

The clock is ticking towards England’s first game of Euro 2020 on June 14, when they face Croatia at Wembley. Southgate will be hoping his captain Kane is fit to start that day – but one of these men may have to step up.
