Burnley midfielder Jack Cork has been called up to the England squad for the first time.

The 28-year-old has been drafted in by manager Gareth Southgate for the upcoming friendlies against Germany and Brazil.

Southgate has turned to the former Swansea and Southampton man after Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph and Jordan Henderson became the latest withdrawals from his injury-hit squad.

The Football Association said in a statement on Tuesday night: "The arrival of Cork means Gareth Southgate will continue his preparations at St. George's Park with a 22-man squad."
