Squad announced: two first call-ups ahead of the qualifiers
The coaching staff have refreshed the group with three names.
Two names appear in the squad for the first time. Both are playing regularly for their clubs and both are under twenty-one.
The staff link the changes to the fixture list: there are only three days between the two matches and rotation is unavoidable.
January will probably settle it. Until then this is how the table should be read.
Who has been called up
What comes out of the club is contradictory, as usual. Two separate sources give two different figures for the same meeting.
The pitch backs up the statistics without quite explaining them. In-game decisions are still the variable that matters most.
The fixtures
The coaching staff put the rotation down to the fixture list. On squad depth they avoid saying anything firm.
The camp begins on Monday. The first match is away, the second at home a week later.
