The Three Lions boss said: “In the autumn discipline off the pitch and on the pitch created the biggest issues for us and meant we didn’t get to the semi-finals of the Nations League that we were desperate to be in.

"It still annoys me when I look at that line-up — Italy, Spain, Belgium, France.

"It’s a brilliant line-up and games you want to be involved in.

"We didn’t have availability of players at certain times for on and off the field misdemeanours.”

Southgate has praised Leicester for their swift action in dropping James Maddison, Ayoze Perez and Hamza Choudhury for Sunday’s trip to West Ham after they went to a party.

England’s hopes of qualifying for the Nations League finals were hit by Phil Foden, Mason Greenwood, Ben Chilwell, Tammy Abraham and Jadon Sancho breaking lockdown rules while Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire were sent off during matches.

Southgate said: “I’m conscious that Leicester have dealt with the situation brilliantly.

"We’ve had issues ourselves in the autumn.

"Coming into the summer we’ve got to make sure we arrive into the camp giving ourselves the best chance to focus on football and that helps to create a calmer environment for everybody.”
