England boss Gareth Southgate has named his 23-man squad for next week’s international games against Spain and Switzerland. And as expected, four Manchester City players have made the grade.
It was widely expected that City’s 18-year-old, the so-called Stockport Iniesta, Phil Foden would have made the 23 however, on this occasion he was overlooked. Perhaps next time Phil.
