Emile Smith Rowe has been called up to the England senior men’s squad for the first time.

Arsenal’s 21-year-old attacking midfielder joined the England squad at St George’s Park on Monday ahead of the forthcoming World Cup Qualifiers against Albania and San Marino.

He had initially been set to join up with the under-21s but has been drafted in by manager Gareth Southgate after Marcus Rashford, James Ward-Prowse, Mason Mount and Luke Shaw did not report for international duty.

Rashford will remain with Manchester United in order to concentrate on regaining full fitness while Shaw is currently following concussion protocol at the club.

Ward-Prowse is ruled out through illness, while Mount’s arrival has been delayed due to recent dental surgery.

Southgate begins preparation for Albania and San Marino with 22 players.
