England could field one of their youngest sides in their 1000th international when they face Montenegro in a Euro 2020 qualifier at Wembley, manager Gareth Southgate said on Wednesday.

Backed by an estimated 10,000 of their fans inside Southampton`s St Mary`s Stadium, Kosovo gave England a real fright.

Despite the heavy competition in the team, Rashford said playing alongside Kane is one of the driving factors for him whenever he steps out to the field.

Southgate`s side began their qualifying campaign for next year`s Euro 2020 finals with resounding victories over the Czech Republic and Montenegro to lead Group A ahead of Saturday`s clash with Bulgaria at Wembley.

England`s 5-1 rout of Montenegro in Podgorica in March was soured by racist abuse from fans and the hosts were ordered to play their next European competition match behind closed doors as part of sanctions handed out by UEFA.

England defender Danny Rose was subjected to monkey chants and Raheem Sterling, the scorer of England`s final goal in the 5-1 win, was also targeted, with racist abuse heard throughout the game.

The draw meant Scotland could only finish third in the group on 18 points, behind Slovakia only on goal difference, eight points adrift of group winners England and three points ahead of Slovenia.

Foreign Minister Srdjan Darmanovic submitted Montenegro's official accession papers in a ceremony at the US State Department, making the small Balkan State the 29th member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. 

On October 16, the same day Montenegrins voted in a Parliamentary Election, authorities arrested 20 people from neighbouring Serbia on charges of planning armed attacks against the state.  

Montenegro said it had foiled a plot by a group of Serbs who were planning to seize the prime minister and parliament and proclaim victory for the opposition after Sunday`s tinderbox election.

NATO on Wednesday invited Montenegro to become the 29th member of the US-led military alliance, defying Russia's warnings it would have to respond to what it branded a threat to its security.

 German officials have said they are investigating whether a 51-year-old man arrested in Bavaria last week is linked to the Paris attacks, even as police in his home country of Montenegro rejected a possible connection.

Montenegro is preparing for the likely influx of migrants from Syria and beyond as they carve out a new path on their journey to Western Europe, the government said Friday.
