Obviously it won’t happen.
The problem that the squad is going to have is that Southgate will want to take one too many defenders.
My view is that if we're so unfortunate to lose three defenders during the tournament then the fates have probably decided that we're not going to win it.
Stick Konsa and Gomez in as poor fullbacks and possible centrebacks. Add more in midfield (I'd like to see Wharton in there as he looks genuinely class).
Fewer defenders, more midfielders. If the worst came to the worst then play 3-2-4-1.
We're not going to win the tournament by just standing there waiting to win 1-0 every game, that's for sure.
