Callum Hudson-Odoi and Nick Pope will start for England against Kosovo in their final European Qualifier, Sky Sports News understands.
Pope earns his first England start, after the Burnley goalkeeper was first called up in March 2018, while Chelsea winger Hudson-Odoi makes only his second start as Gareth Southgate explores his squad options.
Southgate could make further changes for the final European Qualifier at the Pristina City Stadium on Sunday with James Maddison a doubt with a minor calf strain and John Stones set to be rested.
It means Tyrone Mings is likely to win only his second England cap alongside Harry Maguire, though Fikayo Tomori is also pushing for his England debut, and could feature at some stage.
The trip to Kosovo gives Southgate a chance to look at some other players in his squad with only a few games remaining before Euro 2020 gets under way.
Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford could also be given a rest with Tammy Abraham - who scored his first senior international goal in the 7-0 win against Montenegro - and Callum Wilson waiting in the wings for their chance up front.

Sterling? has lil creative edge??? I'm confused..
He gets a lot of tap in assists in the box like how Ronaldo does. He doesn't pick out a pass like how Messi would for example.

Hudson-Odoi should be playing more both in the national squad and in the PL, pure talent!

Depending on how Southgate likes to play, Callum could be 1 of his most ideal options. Cos the 2 other left wing options apart from Callum are both in nature inverted wingers only with barely any creative edge to them that being Sterling and Rashford. Callum offers playmaking down the wings too, he can unlock defences with his passing ability. He is actually similar to Hazard with his end product but play style looks more like a young Sporting FC Ronaldo. It's hard to pinpoint where his strengths lie exactly but I know this boy will be 1 of the biggest stars in world football cos his game has so much to it, it's crazy...

do you feel happy being benched by Pulisic? He fought back remember... add goals and assists to you game. Bunch of skills without end product is a shit in the ass ask V Junior of Real Madrid.

I hope he really impresses and gives Lampard further headaches in team selection. C'mon Callum, show us what you've got 💙💪🏻😎
