Jarrod Bowen and James Justin earn first England call-ups for Nations League, Fikayo Tomori recalled

West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen and Leicester defender James Justin have received their first call-ups to the England squad ahead of next month's start of the Nations League, following impressive seasons, while AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori has been recalled. Bowen scored 12 Premier League goals and provided 10 assists to help his side finish seventh in the table, while also playing a key role in David Moyes' side reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League.

Conversely the experienced pair of Newcastle's Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker of Manchester City — who have both returned from injury — are included. Tomori returns as an option at centre back having won the Serie A title with AC Milan, with Harry Maguire included despite his below-par form at Manchester United, and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi and Arsenal's Ben White given another chance to impress.

Bowen's call-up means there is no place for either Emile Smith Rowe of Arsenal or Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, who misses out following the return of Tammy Abraham. The Roma striker had to pull out of the squad in March because of a back problem.
