Five Man City players named in England World Cup squad

Five Manchester City players have been selected in the England squad for the World Cup later this month.

Defensive pair John Stones and Kyle Walker, midfielder Kalvin Phillips and forwards Phil Foden and Jack Grealish all make the grade in Gareth Southgate's squad.

The Three Lions have named a 26-man squad that will head out to Qatar. Walker and Phillips were slight doubts for the tournament, which begins a week on Sunday. Walker has been absent since October with a groin injury.

As for Phillips, he is only just in the early stages of his return after a shoulder operation. He played 40 minutes in City's EFL Cup win over Chelsea on Wednesday night and has clearly done enough to convince Southgate of his fitness.
