Shaw would love to secure Euro 2020 place after making England return

Luke Shaw is targeting a place in England’s Euro 2020 squad after making his first international appearance in two-and-a-half years in Sunday’s 2-0 World Cup qualifying win against Albania in Tirana.

The Manchester United defender played the full 90 minutes and provided an assist for the opening goal by Harry Kane, with a second-half strike from Mason Mount sealing England’s second win from two games in Group I.

The Three Lions host Poland in another qualifier on Wednesday but have just two end-of-season friendlies against Austria and Romania after that before Gareth Southgate picks his squad for this summer’s tournament.
