Gareth Southgate is stepping up his England revolution by keeping the players for an extra 24 hours.

Southgate will have a debrief back at the team hotel on Tuesday morning to go through the Slovakia game - which is in stark contrast to them normally going straight back to their clubs.

England boss Southgate does not need special permission from Premier League managers because it falls within the FIFA international window with qualifiers still being played on Tuesday.

Southgate said: “The best opportunity to be able to learn is the game. However long we work together in the week, the exam is the game. Everything that surrounds the game, what we might pick up from it, needs reviewing.

“With England, going back to when I was a player, the game finishes, I get two minutes with the team, then the media conferences, family and home. No opportunity with any reflection to discuss the game properly until a month or maybe three months later.

“So we’re only following a process that we think is right. Eddie Jones does it with the rugby guys, with four weeks together.

"We think it’s invaluable. We think the players can recover the next morning so we send them back in good nick.

"We get 50 days between now and the World Cup, and we think those extra half days are a good opportunity.”
