Mason Mount, Reece James and Ben Chilwell have been selected
in Gareth Southgate’s England squad ahead of three World Cup qualifiers later
this month.
The Three Lions kickstart their qualification campaign with
home fixtures against San Marino and Poland, and a trip to Albania in between.
Not only will the quest to reach Qatar 2022 begin, but the games will also
serve as important preparation for this summer’s European Championships, which
begin in June.
England will kick off their World Cup qualifying campaign
against San Marino on Thursday, 25 March, and Albania on 28 March.
Their last qualifying game would be against Poland on
Wednesday, 31st of March.
Southgate squad list contains some surprising names as
notable players like Tammy Abraham, Callum Wilson, Jordan Pickford in the squad
have been left out due to injury.
Ollie Watkins and Sam Johnstone have been named in the squad
for the first time in their career, with Jude Bellingham included and United
wantaway attacker Jesse Lingard recalled.
Luke Shaw and John Stones also were called once more to the
team for the March internationals.
Stones has not represented his country since late 2019,
while Shaw’s last appearance came in late 2018.
An injury to Everton goalkeeper has seen Southgate turn to
West Bromwich Albion’s Sam Johnstone, who earns a spot in the squad alongside
United’s Dean Henderson and Burnley’s Nick Pope.

Pope
