Five Man City players named in England squad for final World Cup qualifiers

There have been no surprise Manchester City exclusions from the latest England squad, as the Blues once again have five representatives in Gareth Southgate's team.

It's only been a few weeks since the last international break but City players will once again jet off to meet up with their national teams following Saturday's Manchester derby.

It will be the final set of international fixtures of the year as England look to seal qualification for the 2022 World Cup.

Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling, Jack Grealish, John Stones and Kyle Walker have all once again been named in the Three Lions squad, which was announced on Thursday afternoon.

Sterling got a big boost in confidence on Wednesday night as he came off the bench to score his first City goal since August 11 in the 4-1 victory over Club Brugge, with Foden grabbing the opener.

England will be in action on Friday, November 12, as they welcome Albania to Wembley before travelling to San Marino for their final qualifier on Monday, November 15.

The full England squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Johnstone, Pickford, Ramsdale

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Chilwell, Coady, James, Maguire, Mings, Shaw, Stones, Walker

Midfielders: Bellingham, Henderson, Mount, Phillips, Rice, Ward-Prowse

Forwards: Abraham, Foden, Grealish, Kane, Rashford, Saka, Sterling
