England manager Gareth Southgate has called up four uncapped players into his squad for September's Euro 2020 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Kosovo.
Manchester United right back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, centre half Tyrone Mings of Aston Villa and midfielders James Maddison of Leicester City and Chelsea's Mason Mount all have a chance of making their debuts.There are recalls to the squad for right-back Kieran Trippier, who recently moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Atletico Madrid, Spurs midfielder Harry Winks and Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
"We tracked him all last year. He's adapted well and quickly to a high profile move. Playing in front of 70,000 fans brings an intensity and pressure," he said. "We're quite clear he would probably have been in our starting team at the World Cup," said the England boss.Mount played in the second tier for Derby County last season after spending the previous year in the Netherlands with Vitesse Arnhem and has earned his call-up after just three games in the Premier League with Chelsea.
"He's not in based on three games this season, he's in on the back after a successful year in the Eredivisie, a year at Derby and he’s improved at every level he’s played at."
