England U21 coach Gareth Southgate is unsure about keeping his backroom staff with him.

The FA have been looking to renew Southgate's terms since England breezed past Croatia in the Euro 2015 play-off last October. He had 18 months left on his contract but this deal now runs until after the 2017 tournament.

As yet, though, there is no indication about whether his influential assistant Steve Holland will commit to another qualifying cycle, given his workload with Chelsea.

"That would be down to him," said Southgate. "Chelsea have been really good. He has been invaluable to the way we work.

"But it is a massive commitment and he will look at it at the end of this cycle. He has been huge for me."
