LONDON: England have called up West Ham United's Jarrod Bowen and Leicester City defender James Justin for the first time in manager Gareth Southgate's squad for matches against Hungary, Italy and Germany in the Nations League next month.
"His journey is really interesting in terms of experiences he's had. It's a reminder you don't just have to be at an elite academy and come through that pathway. Playing in the lower divisions and to have that experience is a great route to go. In total there are five players included who can play at right back and no natural left backs, although Justin has played in that position for Leicester.
With the World Cup being held in November to December this year, the matches give Southgate a chance to assess who will be in the frame for selection to travel to Qatar for the finals, though he said there was still time for others to come through. Only one player from the Premier League's top four this season makes it into the midfield of six, with Chelsea's Mason Mount included. However, Conor Gallagher can add to his three caps after impressing on loan at Palace from Chelsea.
Also omitted is Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson but Southgate said that was due to the midfielder having had a relentless schedule with his club this season which includes Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid.
