England boss Gareth Southgate has named a 23-man squad for the games against Andorra and Hungary in October.

The Three Lions will resume their qualifying campaign for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar with a trip to Andorra on Saturday 9 October (7.45pm) before returning to Wembley where they take on Hungary on Tuesday 12 October (7.45pm).

There’s a return to the squad for AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins and Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, while Phil Foden is also back after missing September’s games through injury.

Southgate and his squad will meet up at St. George’s Park next week to begin their preparations for the games in pole position in qualifying group I, knowing they require eight points from their remaining four qualifiers to secure their place at next December’s World Cup.
