West Brom midfielder Jake Livermore gets England call
Albion midfielder Jake Livermore has been named in England’s squad ahead of fixtures against France and Scotland next month.
The 27-year-old, who joined the Baggies in a £10million move from Hull City in January, has been called-up for the second consecutive time by Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate.
England face Scotland in a World Cup qualifier at Hampden Park on Saturday June 10. They then take on France in Paris three days later, on Tuesday June 13.
In March, Livermore became Albion’s first outfield player to feature for England since Steve Hunt in 1984 when he played in a 1-0 friendly defeat to Germany.
The Tottenham academy product made 16 appearances for the Baggies during the second half of the season.
However, there was no place for Wayne Rooney in the squad, signalling that it could be the beginning of the end of the Manchester United star's international career.
