Sole-capped Shelvey and Vardy called up for England Euro qualifiers

“On this occasion we are obviously missing some players from the June matches,” Hodgson said. “However this is compensated by the fact we have players who weren’t available over the summer.

“Jonjo Shelvey gets another chance as he has been very impressive since the start of the season whilst Ryan Mason has been unlucky with us – he picked up an injury the last time he was in the England squad.

“This latest squad shows we are working a good number of players with a claim to be England regulars and secure a place in Euro 2016.

“Before that there are two matches we must focus on. The players must keep going, play well and look to win every match. I don’t want any let up and we want to win both these games.”

England currently top their pool, six points ahead of second-placed upcoming opponents Switzerland, who they beat 2-0 in the away fixture, having won all six of their matches to date. Estonia (home) and Lithuania (away) will be their final two group games before the finals.
