But Southgate said at a news conference on Thursday: “Harry will be involved tomorrow.

“The decision we’ve got to make is whether he is ready to start, but we’re really pleased with his progress.

“He’s trained with the team for four or five days now and had no reaction.

“Of course each session he's involved with he gets more confident.

“I think he's on a really good path.

“We want everyone available, it causes difficult decisions but we have 26 players on the training pitch and that is a great position to be involved in.”

The game will take place at Wembley at 8pm.
