Danny Higginbotham examines why England lack playmakers ahead of their friendlies with Germany and Brazil

In his latest touchscreen feature for Sky Sports, Danny Higginbotham examines England's shortage of playmakers and explains why it is such a big issue.

Gareth Southgate's side face Germany at Wembley on Friday night before returning to the national stadium for Tuesday's meeting with Brazil.

England's options are depleted following a number of injury withdrawals over the last week, and Higginbotham believes their issues with creativity could be exposed more than ever in the upcoming games.

He explains how foreign imports tend to dominate the No 10 role in the Premier League and examines how England can utilise their wing-backs to create scoring opportunities instead.
