Aaron Wan-Bissaka & Tyrone Mings earn England call-ups for Euro 2020 qualifiers

Wan-Bissaka and Mings both made permanent moves in the summer

Manchester United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Aston Villa centre-back Tyrone Mings have won their first call-ups to the England senior squad.

Wan-Bissaka, who moved to Old Trafford from Crystal Palace this summer, was part of the Under-21 squad in June’s age-grade European Championships.

Mings, 26, has made an assured start to his career at Villa since joining, initially on loan, in January.

Defender Kyle Walker, winner of 48 caps, is left out.

The 29-year-old is a right-back, but was deployed as a central defender during England’s run to the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2018.

Chelsea playmaker Mason Mount and Liverpool winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are in the 25-man squad.

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s last England appearance was in a 1-1 friendly draw against Italy in March 2018, a month before he damaged knee ligaments playing for his club.

Atletico Madrid’s former Tottenham defender Kieran Trippier is recalled after being dropped for the Nations League finals, while Leicester playmaker James Maddison could be in line to win his first cap.

Gareth Southgate’s side are preparing for Euro 2020 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Kosovo on 7 and 10 September respectively.

More to follow.

England squad:

Goalkeepers:Tom Heaton (Aston Villa), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley)

Defenders:Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Ben Chilwell (Leicester), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Michael Keane (Everton), Harry Maguire (Leicester), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Danny Rose (Tottenham), Kieran Trippier (Atletico Madrid), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United)

Midfielders:Ross Barkley (Chelsea), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), James Maddison (Leicester), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Liverpool), Declan Rice (West Ham), Harry Winks (Tottenham)

Forwards:Harry Kane (Tottenham), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Callum Wilson (Bournemouth)
