West Ham forward Bowen and Leicester full-back Justin are the only new names in Gareth Southgate's squad.

We’d like him to be with us from the start of the camp. That deserves huge credit.” Southgate said: “Firstly, huge credit to both the boys for going and adapting to living abroad, playing in a different style of football, endeavouring to learn another language and fit in culturally with the group. “We gave him the option of reporting a bit later so he got a longer break after the final, but he felt more comfortable to keep going and finish a bit earlier.” We’ve got cover. “He’s a player that we’ve followed for a long time and he obviously had a very serious injury and has now, we feel, played the number of matches and been able to play more regularly,” Southgate said.

Gareth Southgate has included Jarrod Bowen and James Justin in a Nations League squad that does not feature Jordan Henderson or Tyrone Mings.

“His journey is really interesting in terms of the experiences he’s had,” said Southgate, who pointed to it as proof that players can reach the top without being in an elite academy. We gave him the option of reporting a bit later so he got a longer break after the final, but he felt more comfortable to keep going and finish a bit earlier.” There is no place for the Villa striker Ollie Watkins, who was a late replacement for the injured Tammy Abraham in the last squad. Southgate said Bowen had earned his place with “consistently strong performances” and referenced the 25-year-old’s goal threat and directness. “But we felt that with Hendo, we didn’t need to see him this summer and with Trent, slightly different. They’re in different positions because Jordan’s age, the number of caps he’s got, is totally different to Trent of course and we’ve got good players in all those [midfield] areas of the pitch.

“We’re only six matches away from a World Cup so we want to be successful in the Nations League,” he said. Marc Guehi is a doubt, I’d have to say. I don’t need to know any more about him.
