Southgate&#8217;s decision follows a mixed weekend for Ward-Prowse at Southampton. The 26-year-old scored at Stamford Bridge before being sent off as the Saints lost 3-1 to now-league leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/03\/ruben-loftus-cheek-chelsea-striker\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His goal on Saturday, October 2, was his second of the season with plenty more expected from the set-piece expert.<\/p>\n<p>The Southampton captain has a healthy output going forward and will no doubt continue that. Ward-Prowse has scored one goal in eight appearances for the England national team so far.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Ben Chilwell replaced Chelsea teammate Reece James in the setup yesterday, whilst Tammy Abraham was added following a Man of the Match display for Roma against Empoli at the weekend. Abraham hasn&#8217;t replaced anyone in Southgate&#8217;s squad, he has just added to the numbers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udfe8 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DigitalBitsOrg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@DigitalBitsOrg<\/a> \ud835\udde0\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde7\ud835\udde0 \ud83d\uddf3\ud83d\udfe5<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tammyabraham?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@tammyabraham<\/a> once again who wins the fan vote, after his assist in our win over Empoli! \ud83d\udc4d<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ASRoma?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#ASRoma<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RomaEmpoli?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#RomaEmpoli<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kbECiHwOXU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/kbECiHwOXU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ASRomaEN\/status\/1445044802815397896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 4, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Tammy Abraham Enjoying Return to Form Since Roma Move<\/h3>\n<p>The England striker has enjoyed a return to top form since making the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/17\/roma-tammy-abraham\/\" target=\"_self\">move from Chelsea to Roma<\/a>.
