Ashley Young Recalled to England Squad Ahead of Friendlies Against Germany & Brazil
England manager Gareth Southgate has named a 25-man squad for prestigious international friendlies against Germany and Brazil on 10th and 14th November respectively.
The international break later this month will determine the final qualifiers for next summer's World Cup. The Three Lions sealed their automatic place during the last round of UEFA group games in October, though, and can already begin preparing for Russia.
