with England hopes, in-form contenders and a surprise package
The 2022 Qatar World Cup begins on November 20. Gareth Southgate's England and Tite's Brazil final picks are both expected on Monday November 7. Newcastle United's first-team players are hoping to make the cut.
Kieran Trippier and Nick Pope are likely to make the squad. Callum Wilson scored twice in front of England boss Gareth Southgate on Saturday. Newcastle's Dan Burn is also in the frame.
Joelinton scored in Newcastle's 4-0 win and is still hopeful of earning a Qatar spot. Bruno Guimaraes met with national boss Tite last week and they enjoyed a steak dinner on Tyneside.
Fabian Schar will play against Brazil at the World Cup. Manuel Akanji and Nico Elvedi are the other central defenders. Stephan Henchoz believes the Schär-Elvedis don't complement each other.
Sven Botman is in the provisional Netherlands squad despite pulling out of under-21 duty to focus on Newcastle. Bot man is already being tipped to captain Newcastle in future.
Garang Kuol is being tipped for a call-up to the Australia team. He recently joined the Newcastle Magpies on loan. Graham Arnold believes he can surprise opponents.
