Jonjo Shelvey is the shock name being considered for England’s World Cup squad almost two-and-a-half years after his last appearance, according to reports.
Concerns over the fitness issues surrounding both Liverpool star and Adam Lallana and Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere mean Gareth Southgate is seriously considering the former Charlton Athletic man.
According to The Times, Southgate will be in attendance for the Magpies’ trip to Everton on Monday night and will make a judgement call on Shelvey’s form.
The vision and passing ability of the 26-year-old has seriously impressed the Three Lions boss, after he has created 33 chances for his teammates in the Premier League this season.
