NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
James Maddison, Ben White and Callum Wilson were the standout inclusions as Gareth Southgate named his 26-man England squad for the World Cup.
Southgate announced his squad today at St George’s Park as the Three Lions prepare for their first group clash against Iran a week on Monday.
Maddison has just one England cap to his name and has largely been overlooked by Southgate but his form for Leicester City this season has seen him included in the squad, which is bound to please supporters.
The playmaker’s ability has never been in question but Southgate has suggested in the past that off-field events have prevented Maddison from earning a call-up.
