Leicester midfielder James Maddison has been included in Gareth Southgate’s 26-man England squad for the 2022 World Cup, along with Newcastle striker Callum Wilson.
Neither player has featured for England since 2019, but recent club form has seen them earn a call-up for the Qatar tournament, which begins on November 20.
Maddison last played for England on 14 November 2019 during a 7-0 win against Montenegro during qualification for Euro 2020.
Wilson’s last international cap came exactly a month before on 14 October 2019 in a 6-0 win against Bulgaria, also during Euro 2020 qualification.
Among English players, Maddison has had one of the highest number of goal involvements since August 2021, while Wilson has scored six Premier League goals this season with two assists.
