CRESSWELL and Pickford get call up


Southgate, the caretaker manager, had named an original 25-man squad in the expectation that one or two players may drop out as they were struggling with injury.

Wayne Rooney could be handed a starting berth against Scotland following Alli's injury. Cresswell, 26, has returned to the West Ham team after being out with a long-term knee injury and has impressed as he has helped turn his team’s fortunes around.

Southampton goalkeeper Forster’s abdominal problem sees Pickford handed a late call-up, as happened with the last squad. The 22-year-old produced a stunning display on Saturday to help Sunderland record their first Premier League win of the season at Bournemouth.

It is thought Cresswell’s inclusion is also to cover for Danny Rose, who has been struggling with hamstring and foot problems.

England top Group F with seven points from three matches. They play host to Scotland in a World Cup qualifier on Friday before facing Spain four days later in a friendly at Wembley.
