Thank goodness for Harry Kane.
The Bayern Munich star is prone to begin England's match in Riga towards Latvia on Tuesday evening the place he shall be hoping so as to add to his excellent run of 18 targets from his previous 10 matches.
A minor damage meant Kane was not concerned in England's 3-0 win over Wales on Thursday evening with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins – the one different out-and-out striker within the squad – deputising.
However through the match Watkins collided with the publish and has subsequently been dominated out of the Latvia fixture by way of damage.
England followers are as soon as once more going by way of who the striker choices behind captain Kane and the reply doesn't seem apparent.
Remarkably, solely seven English gamers you'll class as an out-and-out striker have appeared within the Premier League this season – with Chelsea's Liam Delap the one one of many seven underneath the age of 26.
The opposite six are Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Eddie Nketiah, Dominic Solanke, Watkins, Danny Welbeck and Callum Wilson.
England's lack of choices within the centre-forward place was even famous by Beneath-21s supervisor Lee Carsley, who mentioned on Monday: “We want extra centre forwards, we want extra orthodox quantity nines that are able to scoring targets. We actually worth that place.”
“I feel it's in vogue to play your centre forwards out vast or to play them withdrawn. I feel it's one thing that we want to concentrate on, the poacher and the goalscorer and the participant that performs on the shoulder and the point of interest is one thing that I worth.”
Whereas England's senior crew's boss Thomas Tuchel has a variety headache all around the subject – resulting from an abundance of choices – who he picks as Kane's deputy for the World Cup is a distinct downside for a really totally different motive.
With England only a win away from qualifying for the summer time's World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, the race to be Kane's back-up could be very a lot on.
BBC Sport has chosen 5 choices who between them have 25 England targets in comparison with Kane's file 74.
