Four players have been named in the latest England squad for two matches in the upcoming international break.
Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Ebere Eze and Noni Madueke have all been called up by Thomas Tuchel to a 35-man squad, with the Three Lions hosting Uruguay and Japan at the end of this month.
With qualification for this summer’s World Cup secured, England now begin preparations with two warm-up friendlies at Wembley. Uruguay are the first visitors on Friday, March 27 (7:45pm), before Japan make the trip to face Tuchel’s side under the arch on Tuesday, March 31 (7:45pm).
Having sealed their place at this year’s tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico with wins from all eight of their qualifying fixtures, England will next be in action in June following these two warm-up matches, while nations elsewhere battle it out to be on the plane this summer.
Rice currently has the most caps from all the Gunners in the squad, having scored six goals in 72 senior England appearances. Saka will earn his 50th cap if he features in both of the upcoming matches, having also netted 14 international goals.
Eze has three goals in 16 senior caps for the Three Lions, while Madueke will be looking to reach double figures next week, having made nine appearances, scoring once.
Uruguay and Japan have also booked their places for the tournament in North America, with Marcelo Bielsa’s side also facing Algeria as part of their warm-up schedule next week and Hajime Moriyasu’s squad also meeting Scotland at Hampden Park.
