Gareth Southgate has named his penultimate England squad before Qatar’s winter World Cup for next month’s Nations League matches against Hungary, Germany and Italy.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Three Lions boss opted to test the waters, handing debut call-ups to West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen and Leicester City defender James Justin, as well as recalling Kalvin Phillips and Fikayo Tomori to the international fold.<\/p>\n

Bowen has played like a man possessed this season as the Hammers reached the Europa League semi-final and secured seventh in the Premier League, confirming another campaign of continental football for the Hammers, who secured a place in 2022\/23’s Europa Conference League.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The West Ham forward was on the cusp of an inclusion in March’s international matches, as confirmed by Southgate who said he was\u00a0“in the frame”, but a \u00a0fractured bone in his foot ultimately scuppered his chances of receiving his first cap.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elsewhere, there has long been clamour for Tomori to receive regular minutes at senior international level, and it appears Southgate has recognised his Scudetto-winning exploits at the San Siro after Milan ended their 11-year wait for Serie A title glory over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Leeds United’s Phillips is also back in the frame having seen his season blighted by injury problems and inconsistency issues at Elland Road. A cornerstone of England’s Euro 2020 success last summer, Phillips continues a positive few days after Leeds avoided the drop on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Justin’s inclusion completes a tremendous 2022 for the versatile defender, who recently recovered from a protracted spell on the sidelines with a cruciate ligament rupture to play a vital role in Leicester’s second half of the campaign. He will now be looking to put that lengthy spell on the sidelines behind him.<\/p>\n

England full squad:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Goalkeepers:\u00a0<\/strong>Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale.<\/p>\n

Defenders:\u00a0<\/strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Coady, Marc Guehi, Reece James, James Justin, Harry Maguire, John Stones, Fikayo Tomori, Kieran Tripper, Kyle Walker, Ben White.<\/p>\n

Midfielders:\u00a0<\/strong>Jude Bellingham, Conor Gallagher, Mason Mount, Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice, James Ward-Prowse.<\/p>\n

Forwards:\u00a0<\/strong>Tammy Abraham, Jarrod Bowen, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling.<\/p>\n
