Crystal Palace pair named in England squad as defender misses out on first call up

Conor Gallagher and Marc Guehi have been included in the England squad for this month’s friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast at Wembley but there is no place for Tyrick Mitchell in Gareth Southgate’s squad.

Midfielder Gallagher, on loan from Chelsea, made his senior debut in the 10-0 win over San Marino in autumn and has kicked on with his club form since. He has eight goals and three assists for Patrick Vieira's team and there is an expectation that he will be given every chance to make a breakthrough at Stamford Bridge next season, giving his hopes of making it into November's World Cup squad a further boost.

Guehi, meanwhile, has won promotion from being Under-21 captain. The centre back has started in 28 of Palace's league games since joining on a permanent deal from Chelsea in the summer and he wore the armband in Monday night's scoreless draw against leaders Manchester City at Selhurst Park.
