crashes haven't dented charlotte worthington's confidence as the olympic champion prepares for the bmx freestyle world championships. hello, and welcome to sportsday. gareth southgate has named his 26—man england squad for the upcoming qatar world cup that starts in ten days. james maddison makes the squad. the leicester midfielder has more goals and assists than any other english midfielder since the start of last season. there's also a spot for callum wilson, whose resurgence with newcastle this season was enough to see him secure a spot over ivan toney and tammy abraham.

and trent alexander—arnold, who was missing from their last fixture against germany, is also selected. england will be looking to get further than the semifinals they managed four years ago in russia. 0ur reporter alex howelljoins us from st george's park now, and we'll start with james maddison, whose superb form this season domestically has been rewarded. it has been a busy day here at st george's part with gareth southgate confirming the 26 players they think will take the english squad as far as they can go at the world cup in qatar. you hurt him he thinks it has been leading up to this row over macro one and he has made it. nearly three years to the day since the last play for england and got his only cap, but his four means he could not be ignored any more. he has been playing excellently for leicester. he has got to go involvements in the premier league so where he has gotten an official

scored for them. and he is really help them improve their foreman is an area of the pitch where england have a lot of strength in depth with raheem sterling and bukayo saka and jack grealish. he also mentioned another player, callum wilson, another player, callum wilson, another player, callum wilson, another player who is not being in the squad for a while but he has been scoring freely for newcastle and he hasjumped ahead of ivan toney helping newcastle climb up towards the european places. and gareth southgate has a speaking today about why he thinks these players even the best options as they head to the world cup in qatar and that first game against iran. we've wanted to make sure we've got the balance of the squad right. i think, un this day and age, the squad is more important than ever. with five substitutes, you can

almost — with five substitutes, you can almost change half your team so you want different options for different stages _ want different options for different stages of— want different options for different stages of the game and tournament as well. stages of the game and tournament as welt but— stages of the game and tournament as well. but we think the balance is there _ well. but we think the balance is there we — well. but we think the balance is there. we have got coverage on oppositions we need. we are lighter on deaf— oppositions we need. we are lighter on deaf that some positions and other_ on deaf that some positions and other in— on deaf that some positions and other in our country but we think we have got— other in our country but we think we have got everything covered. the football has been the main discussion point today but of course there are a lot of discussion points around the off the field issues with the tournament being held in qatar. and gareth southgate was asked about whether the squad will continue to speak about the human rights issues there and he said it's highly unlikely they are going to stop doing that following the letter from fee for telling teams to just focus on the football. harry kane is wearing the one love armband which the team is wearing is part of it and had a termination campaign. and the final thing and most important thing that gareth southgate will think about for his players as there is still a round up or merely games

to go so he was hoping all the players he is named in the squad come through unscathed and he does not have to make any late changes. so there will be a worry that he has and his players hope they come through in full fitness. qm. and his players hope they come through in full fitness. 0k, alex how about _ through in full fitness. 0k, alex how about life _ through in full fitness. 0k, alex how about life from _ through in full fitness. 0k, alex how about life from st - through in full fitness. 0k, alex how about life from st george's| how about life from st george's park, many thanks. well, it has been a world cup that has been plagued by controversy with regards to the country's view on the lgbtq+ community, human rights violations and the alleged abuse of migrant workers. and today, fifa and qatar have been confronted with a report by human rights group equidem, who claim contractors working in the run—up to qatar 2022 have been hiding illegal practises. i have to say that i have been even personally shock based on the data the level of suppression of workers, not just exploitation that's shocking, but suppressing workers against complaining about the situation. and the links they have

been taken by this powerful companies to evade the independent inspections. to me, that's really shocking. in response to equidem's report, the qatar supreme committee have released a wider statement which in part has said...

well, away from the world cup, there's more domestic cup action tonight as manchester united take on aston villa for the second time in four days, with victory for either side putting them into the fourth round of the league cup. conor mcnamara is at old trafford for us. tonight is the final of the league cup third round ties we find out the last team to go into the drawer for the fourth round with matches played before christmas between the end of the world cup and the resumption of the world cup and the resumption of the premier league on boxing day. interesting quirk for this one being back—to—back matches for manchester united and aston villa with them a meeting at villa park five days ago in the fairly with aston winning 3—1 with early goals conceded by manchester united and not being able to recover for that. manchester united and not being able to recoverfor that. no doubt manchester united and not being able to recover for that. no doubt a boost for the aston villa manager with a boost in his position. interesting the team news tonight as

both coaches are aware one more premier league game at the wicked before the world cup break anything a player like lis andra martinez who was played in every match for manchester united system in the company imagine that might come to a halt tonight to give them a wrestles up my halt tonight to give them a wrestles up my open the door of opportunity for the likes of victor linda law for the likes of victor linda law for harry maguire, with him i'm sure you've heard named in the squad for the world cup given his performance for the club the season. he will be grateful to get some game time and some miles on the clock and we will get a quick result tonight with no replays or extra time and strict penalties if needed to find out if it is manchester united or aston villa who go through to the next row. kick—off is at 8pm with live coverage on it abc radio lot five lie. england defenders lucy bronze and alex greenwood have been ruled out of friday's friendly againstjapan. bronze is isolating at the team hotel after testing positive for covid, while greenwood sustained a minor injury on manchester city duty on sunday. england are also without captain

be gold medallist but i want to have a session with them. i want to read the skate park in the background and learn new things together. filth! you learn new things together. 0h! you have learn new things together. oh! you have some crashes this year? learn new things together. 0h! you l have some crashes this year? yeah. does that affect _ have some crashes this year? yeah. does that affect your _ have some crashes this year? yeah. does that affect your confidence? i l does that affect your confidence? i don't think crashing affect my confidence also i think it makes use of evaluate and kind of learn what happened. that's not the first time i crashed as i crashed at the olympics and the only thing is that the olympics we got the fairy tale that i landed second run. and sometimes taking those risks don't work and you've got to evaluate and i've learned a lot of lessons and i would like to think i can take the sport to new levels on the women's side. i got pretty big dreams of what to take the sport and it's based off of consistent performances along that and i would love to be a dominant competitor throughout. members of the richmond dales amateur swimming club have
