Jadon Sancho is DROPPED from the England squad for the final World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino as Gareth Southgate drafts Marcus Rashford back into the fold

Jadon Sancho has been dropped from the senior England squad for the final World Cup qualifying matches by boss Gareth Southgate following a miserable start to his Manchester United career.

Southgate, who had previously publicly stated that Sancho was struggling to retain his national spot given he was not playing regularly for United since his £75million move, officially released his squad on Thursday afternoon.

Jesse Lingard and Kieran Trippier also miss out on a place in the senior squad, while Marcus Rashford and Jude Bellingham are each recalled.

The Three Lions face two final Group I clashes, against Albania at Wembley on Friday, November 12 and a trip to San Marino on Monday, November 15.
