Jagielka Recalled By England

Everton captain Phil Jagielka has been recalled by England for their World Cup qualifier against Slovakia next weekend.

Sam Allardyce has named the defender in his first squad since taking over as manager from Roy Hodgson.

The 34-year-old will now head to St George’s Park, where the 23-man party will train before travelling out to Trnava for next Sunday's game.

Jagielka was a regular for the Three Lions in qualifying for this year's European Championships in France but missed out on selection for the tournament.

England have been drawn in Group F of UEFA qualifying for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia, alongside Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Malta and neighbours Scotland.
