He joins the likes of Dele Alli, Harry Kane and Gary Cahill in making the cut - whilst there's also a call-up for former Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph.

The 27-year-old has made five appearances for the England Senior squad, with four of those coming in 2017, his international debut came in 2012.

England sit top of their World Cup qualifying group, five points ahead of Slovakia and will secure their place in the tournament should they beat Slovenia.

If Slovakia fail to beat Scotland and England lose, they'll still have all but qualified for the tournament - barring an unlikely shift in goal difference.

England face Slovenia on October 5th at Wembley, before travelling to already eliminated Lithuania in Vilnius on October 8th to finish their qualifying stint.
