Young gets England recall as Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain miss out

Ashley Young has been called up to the England squad for the friendly matches against Germany and Brazil in November.

The Manchester United man has been included in Gareth Southgate’s 25-man team despite not playing for his country in September 2013.

Midfielders Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have been left out, while uncapped trio Tammy Abraham, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Joe Gomez have been included.

United centre-back Chris Smalling also misses out, but Danny Rose is back after recovering fitness following a long-term knee injury.

Harry Winks keeps his place alongside five Tottenham team-mates: Rose, Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Kieran Trippier and Eric Dier.

England face world champions Germany on November 10 before meeting Brazil four days later.

Here’s the #ThreeLions squad for this month’s games against Germany and Brazil!
