James Maddison is the surprise inclusion in England’s World Cup squad.
Leicester midfielder Maddison, 25, has been in outstanding form for his club this season and, despite only having one cap three years ago, he is in from the cold. Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has been championing Maddison’s form and claimed last weekend it would be a “travesty” if he missed out.
Despite the fierce competition in the wide areas and England not playing with a No10, Gareth Southgate has listened and watched him in recent weeks. There was also a call-up for Newcastle striker Callum Wilson who got the nod ahead of Ivan Toney and Tammy Abraham while Mirror Sport has revealed Dominic Calvert-Lewin has suffered a fresh injury setback and misses out, reports The Mirror.
