Gareth Southgate named on Thursday the uncapped Tyrone Mings, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Mason Mount and James Maddison in a youthful England squad to face Bulgaria and Kosovo in next month's Euro 2020 qualifiers.

Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also returns for the first time since March 2018 following a long-term knee injury, but there is no place for John Stones, Fabian Delph, Dele Alli or Eric Dier due to fitness concerns.

"We learned some lessons from last September on the importance of physical fitness at this time of year so that's dictated some of the squad," said Southgate.

"But also some exciting players we wanted to look at and involve and we look forward to seeing them on the grass next week."
"We can't stand still and there are young players coming through for the long term for England and we need to start integrating them."
