Crystal Palace loanee Conor Gallagher has been called up to the England senior squad for the first time.
The 21-year-old midfielder has been rewarded by England manager Gareth Southgate after scoring four goals and adding two assists for Palace this season.
Gallagher's call-up comes as Southgate deals with several absences. Jordan Henderson and Jack Grealish have returned to Liverpool and Manchester City respectively for further assessment on injuries, while Raheem Sterling will miss the match against San Marino on Monday due to a personal matter.
Mason Mount and Luke Shaw, who missed Friday's 5-0 win over Albania, will no longer join up with the squad.
Gallagher, on loan from Chelsea, could now make his senior international debut in the World Cup qualifier against San Marino.

I follow this player closely. I'm a woman n I'm 56yrs o but I really love soccer. I usually join my boys children to argue about soccer. I'm a Chelsea fan n my favorite player is E. Mendy.
