Marcus Rashford has reported to St George’s Park ahead of England’s clash against Malta on Friday after being permitted to join up late to attend to a personal matter.<\/p>\n
The Manchester United striker trained on Wednesday morning and is likely to be in contention for a role in Friday’s penultimate Euro 2024 qualifier at Wembley given he has only missed one training session this week.<\/p>\n
Kalvin Phillips, who was also given permission to join up later due to a personal issue, is still to report leaving his inclusion in the party to face Malta in doubt.<\/p>\n
Rashford’s return comes as a major boost to Gareth Southgate as he finalises his starting XI for Friday night’s encounter.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old is now a regular in the England starting XI and his expected availability will come as a relief to the head coach, who is planning on playing a strong team against Malta as looks to cement his team’s place at the top of the qualifying group.<\/p>\n

Marc Guehi is among those hopeful of starting at Wembley as he looks to stake his claim for a starting role at Euro 2024.<\/p>\n
The Crystal Palace captain appears to be in a two-way battle with Harry Maguire to start next to first choice centre-back John Stones in Germany next summer.<\/p>\n
‘It is hard to even think about that (starting at the Euros) just because there are so many top players here,’ Guehi explains.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Marc Guehi is keen to earn another cap ahead of next summer’s Euro 2024 during this round of international ties<\/p>\n
‘To even try and put your name wherever is difficult. Ezri [Konsa] has been called up – a top player.<\/p>\n
‘Fikayo [Tomori] is always here, obviously Harry. John will come back – there are so many players so it is hard to imagine.’<\/p>\n
Southgate is keen to experiment with tactical variations in the games versus Malta and North Macedonia on Monday night.<\/p>\n
There maybe an opportunity for Trent Alexander-Arnold to resume his new England centre midfield role over the next five days, while Southgate will also look to develop the inverted full-back system he used in the friendly against Australia last month.<\/p>\n
