*Gaffer tasks Three Lions as team depart for Middle East Tuesday

Gareth Southgate hinted yesterday that he wants his players to make the World Cup in Qatar the “best” period for English football.

The Three Lions fly to the Middle East on Tuesday after reaching the 2018 World Cup semi-finals, then the European Championship final in 2021.

But England’s men have not won a major trophy since the 1966 World Cup.

“How can we take the supporters on another journey, like the one they loved four years ago and loved last summer?” asked Southgate.

This year’s mid-season World Cup begins next Sunday with hosts Qatar coming up against Ecuador.

England will get their campaign under way the following day against Iran, with Wales and the USA also in their group.

The unique nature of this tournament means Premier League fixtures are paused after yesterday’s matches with the 26-man squad travelling to the Gulf two days later.
