Solanke Recalled to England Squad After Near Seven-Year Abence

Dominic Solanke has earned his first senior call-up for England since November 2017.

Solanke’s call-up comes after an impressive few weeks for Tottenham’s summer signing, as he scored in each of Spurs’ last three matches in all competitions, which has earned him a first call-up since his debut in a goalless draw against Brazil in November 2017.

Jarrod Bowen and Eberechi Eze however have been dropped with Solanke called up in Bowen’s place, whilst Eze has been replaced in midfield by Jude Bellingham who was absent last month due to injury.

Kyle Walker has been recalled in defence with Tino Livramento and Harry Maguire both dropped in this month’s selection.

In goal, Head Coach – Lee Carsley has retained Dean Henderson, Jordan Pickford and Nick Pope.
