One hopes that Roy going to so many Spurs games means he has a good idea of the qualities of our players and has a good enough relationship with the club to do us a favour and instead play Vardy and Drinkwater for 60mins in each game and bring on Kane and Alli for the last 30mins in each game... That would be the most ideal scenario.

Winks U20

Kyle Walker-Peters & Onomah U19

Alfie Whiteman & Marcus Edwards U18

Jaden Brown, Japhet Tanganga and Samuel Shashoua U17
As far as I know we also have TJ Eyoma, Oliver Skipp, Tashan Oakley-Boothe, Nya Kirby and Reo Griffiths with the under 16s.

From what I can tell, Lamela's only made four appearances for Argentina in the last two seasons, each one from the bench. Twice being subbed on after the 80th minute. So I wouldn't expect him to be exerting himself too much in those games.

My biggest worry is the English players, particularly Alli and Kane. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see both of them start both games.

I'm sure Woy will want a look at Sturridge and Welbeck, hopefully in the 2nd game and only using Vardy as a sub and not using Kane in the game v Holland

Our whole starting XI got called up... damn. Something is bound to happen :(

Kind of proud, shows us to be a top top team. This has been happening to, for example, a Fergie team, for years. Certification of our improvement.
With that comes the stress your emojy rightly depicts. thus I make the idiot, unconsidered fan comment of "omg this is an advantage to Leicester as their team are so pants they're not on int duty and get more rest. It's a conspiracy".

The Belgium game has been called off, would assume that all players will get some time off to be with family and then return to their clubs.

The Belgium vs Portugal game is now cancelled.
The events are horrific and I really dislike Sport being stopped as a result, but I think given Belgium's forces being too thinly stretched (I will leave my views on that out of this discussion) one can understand why.

I hope the boys are doing ok, mentally... Hugo will understand what they might be going through.

As a severely minor silver lining, but you know, look for positives in everything, I will be pleased to see our boys getting a rest, but it should never be as a result of something like this. :(

Game looks as though it is now going ahead now, in Portugal rather than Belgium. Im assuming it will still be played on Tuesday.

If it goes ahead it'll be a bit of an exhibition match like the England France game last year.

gutted the Belgium game is still happening but in Portugal now as I would have wanted our players to get some well deserved rest but hey ho. The show must go on.. Lets hope it becomes a training like session.

Maybe it's better that is their first game following what happened and not our next fixture.
Does sort of put everything else into perspective though.

kind of hoping that with it being moved to Tuesday, Dembele doesn't play with us having Liverpool on the Saturday.

So am I!

Our entire starting XI, as well as Chadli, Onomah and Davies, could be in action during the week. That throws Poch's usual rotation policy out of the window. I wouldn't be surprised to see Trippier and Son start against Liverpool.
