JOHN STONES, Tyrone Mings and Conor Coady lived the dream of three Lions last summer. The
defenders were part of the heroicEnglandteam that participated in the Euro glorious penalty shootout.
Still fast-forwarding a year,Gareth Southgatewould have wasted a trip if they went to see one of them on the opening weekend of the season.
Stones,Minds,Codyare not popular in Manchester City, Aston Villa and Wolves.
To compete in the Qatar World Cup this winter, all three will have to make big decisions in the coming weeks.
Liverpool fan Cody, who received Everton medical care yesterday, has never disappointed clubs or countries prior to switching loans fromwolves, .
Cody didn't play minutes of Euroaction , but his infectivity was praised by Three Lions assistant Steve Holland as a player in the England tournament. I saw you do.
Wolf boss Bruno Lage describes him in the same ardent language, but now we can't guarantee him the game.
For the past five years, Scouse was probably the first name on the team seat.
But it's a three-player defense, and Lage prefers to play two centre-backs with a four-player defense.

Portuguese coach Max Kilman is a candidate for England Nathan Collins, who combined Kilman with a new £ 20.5m signature, lost to Leeds 2-1 and Cody asked for directions to the bench.
The route to Merseyside will be more familiar to defenders who have passed through the famous Academy of Anfield Club.
But half of his family are supporters of Toffee, and Cody has no problem wearing his heart on Everton's blue sleeves.
He has three months to give the boss Southgate a name for the Qatar team, and the wolf hasn't been in the way after seven years of outstanding service.
So Cody heads to the blue meadows to revive his World Cup dreams.
On the other hand, the decline from Mins's grace can be traced back to last season's loss of form.
Almost forgotten Dean Smith defeated Mings in his final home game with West Ham.
Mins was unable to form a Southgate team at the end of last season, despite starring in three ties to England's Euro last summer.
Villa chief Steven Gerrard urged centre-backs to focus on their match this summer and installed midfielder John McGinn as a new skipper.
Minds hasn't even cut as one of Gerard's two deputy captains. The new signature Diego Carlos and keeper Emiliano Martinez were preferred.
After suffering an inguinal injury, Mings lost a starting point to Ezri Konsa and Carlos in a 2-0 defeat by Bournemouth on Saturday.
Now Mings has lost his place in England, the armband of the captain of the villa, and the place in Gerard's team.
Gerard said yesterday: "When I decided on the captain, I set him up for a challenge.
" He also missed training time due to an injury and has a smirk in the background.
"When Tyrone returns to his best and looks in my eyes to show that he is ready to play he will have a chance."
Finally, the Stones remain the city's human boomerang.
Playing the ball despite losing Etihad's spot to Aymeric Laporte last season Centre-backs in England after being impressed as a replacement for boss Pep Guardiola All 7 Euro games have started.
In fact, he was the most used outfielder at Southgate, with a game time of 679 minutes. This was only improved by Jordan Pickford's 690 minutes.
However, Stones cut off his job again after missing a pre-season US tour of Citi because he did not meet immigration requirements.
This gave Ruben Dias and Nathan Aké the opportunity to start the city season. With Laporte returning from knee surgery in September , Stones are facing a decisive minute fight.
Southgate's injured Lions have everything they really need to do. .. ..
