Jarrod Bowen and Tomori named in England squad for Nations League

Jarrod Bowen's great season with West Ham earned him his first England call-up.

Tammy Abraham

and Fikayo Tomori return. England's 27-man Nations League squad faces Germany, Italy, and Hungary next month.

Bowen, who scored 18 goals for West Ham this season to help them finish seventh in the Premier League and reach the Europa League semi-finals, "was in the frame" for a March call-up, according to Southgate. Only

Harry Kane

scored more English Premier League goals in 2021-22.

Fullback Leicester Justin's ability to step in at left-back may have led to his selection, with Luke Shaw out for the season and Ben Chilwell only returning on Sunday.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

replaces Jordan Henderson, who will play in Liverpool's Champions League final this weekend. Eric Dier and Tyrone Mings are benched.

"We didn't need to see Hendo this summer. Trent's different, "Southgate said Tuesday. Tomori, who has excelled for Serie A champions Milan, replaces Mings, and Roma's Abraham is also called up.

Abraham's first-half double against Torino on Friday made him the most prolific English player in Serie A history, surpassing Gerald Hitchens' 16 goals for Inter in 1961-62. Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker return from injury. Reece James joins a right-back-heavy defense.

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is selected, but Southgate said he had a knock. Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are again out from the group. Emile Smith Rowe of Arsenal and Leicester's James Maddison are also left out. England face Hungary on June 4 and Germany in Munich three days later in the Nations League.

Italy play England in a rerun of the Euro 2020 final at Molineux on June 11, and Hungary visits on June 14.
