Gareth Southgate has named a 25-strong squad for England’s games with Czech Republic and Montenegro this month.

The Three Lions kick-off their EURO 2020 qualifying campaign against the Czechs at Wembley on Friday 22 March, before they travel to Podgorica to face Montenegro three days later.

And Southgate’s first selection of 2019 sees an England call-up for West Ham United’s Declan Rice, who only recently switched his international allegiance from the Republic of Ireland.

There is also a return for Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton, who is in the squad for the first time since the pre-tournament preparations for last summer’s FIFA World Cup finals.

The squad

Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford, Jack Butland, Tom Heaton

Defenders: Trent Alexander Arnold, Ben Chilwell, Michael Keane, Harry Maguire, Danny Rose, Luke Shaw, John Stones, James Tarkowski, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker

Midfielders: Ross Barkley, Dele Alli, Fabian Delph, Eric Dier, Jordan Henderson, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Declan Rice

Forwards: Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling, Callum Wilson
