And it’s then back to home soil and Brighton, where Southgate’s team will play Switzerland at the Amex Stadium on Monday 16 November as they aim to continue their winning start to the new Euro campaign.

With Joe Gomez, Kortney Hause and James Wilson all missing due to injury, Southgate has called up Everton defender Tyias Browning and Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke, who is currently on loan with Vitesse Arnhem.

Browning last featured under Southgate during the Toulon Tournament of 2014, whilst this is Solanke’s first taste of the U21s having previously impressed at U17 and U19 level.

Tickets for the game in Brighton cost just £10 for adults and £5 for concessions and are on sale now. Click here for more details on how to purchase.
