Mason Greenwood 'to return to Gareth Southgate's England squad' for the first time since lockdown breach in Iceland... with Danny Ings sidelined for six weeks after surgery on knee injury

Mason Greenwood is reportedly set to win back his place in the England squad after confirmation that Southampton striker Danny Ings faces up to six weeks out through injury.

Ings, who has five Premier League goals this season and netted against Wales at Wembley in the last international break, is to undergo surgery on a knee issue sustained in the 4-3 away win to Aston Villa.

Greenwood was omitted for Gareth Southgate's most recent squad after he was sent home from Iceland, along with Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden, having breached lockdown rules by smuggling two women into the team hotel in Reykjavik.
