England will fly to Doha tomorrow, before their first training session at the Al Wakrah sports complex on Wednesday.

And Harry Kane and Co were all smiles as they reported for duty.

Tottenham striker Kane will captain Southgate’s troops as they look to improve on the semi-final defeat from 2018, and the Euros final heartbreak last year.

Callum Wilson and Mason Mount shared a laugh as they were reunited just two days after Wilson’s Newcastle beat Mount’s Chelsea in the Premier League.

The Three Lions kick off their campaign against Iran next Monday.

Further group fixtures against the USA and Wales follow.

Southgate announced his 26-man squad for the tournament last Thursday.

Toon striker Wilson and Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher were the shock picks, while Maddison could not be overlooked after his stunning club form.

Wilson was preferred to Brentford striker Ivan Toney and Roma man Tammy Abraham.

Meanwhile Manchester City duo Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips have won their respective races to be fit enough to feature in Qatar.

Walker has not played since having groin surgery at the start of October, while Phillips returned to action last week after being sidelined since September following shoulder surgery.
