Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins called into England squad for the first time as Gareth Southgate hands Jesse Lingard, Luke Shaw and John Stones returns for World Cup qualifiers

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has been handed his first England call-up by Gareth Southgate for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers.

West Bromwich goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has also been given his debut senior international call up, while Jesse Lingard, John Stones and Luke Shaw have been handed recalls by Southgate.

However, there is no Patrick Bamford in the squad - Southgate was due to make a final check on his fitness this morning.

Jude Bellingham has been included in the squad, but there is some doubt over whether he will be able to join up due to strict Covid restrictions in Germany.
