Five Man City champions rewarded with England calls for Nations League

Five Manchester City players will represent England in their Nations League fixtures next month. Gareth Southgate has called up all of his City internationals for the fixtures vs Hungary home and away, Germany and Italy between June 4 and June 14.

John Stones and Kyle Walker have been deemed fit enough to be included, while forwards Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and Jack Grealish are in the 27-man squad.

Stones and Walker had initially been ruled out for the international break, but returned to training last week and featured in City's final day win over Aston Villa to seal the Premier League title. Stones started at right-back, before moving to the centre at half time, while Walker was an unused substitute along with Grealish.

Foden started the last game, while Sterling came off the bench and provided the crucial assist for Ilkay Gundogan's first.

They will battle with Tammy Abraham, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and West Ham's Jarrod Bowen for game time in the four Nations League fixtures.

Stones will look to retain his centre-back spot alongside the out-of-form Harry Maguire - Manchester United's only representative - as well as Conor Coady, Marc Guehi, Fikayo Tomoi and Ben White.

Walker is one of five right-backs in the squad, with Keiran Trippier and Trent Alexander-Arnold included alongside Reece James and Leicester's James Justin.

Full England squad for June internationals: Pickford, Pope, Ramsdale; Alexander-Arnold, Coady, Guehi, James, Justin, Maguire, Stones , Tomori, Trippier, Walker , White; Bellingham, Gallagher, Mount, Phillips, Rice, Ward-Prowse; Abraham, Bowen, Foden , Grealish , Kane, Saka, Sterling .
