England squad for Malta game announced

Marcus Rashford and Manchester United team-mate Jess Lindgard have been included in the England squad to face Malta in their World Cup qualifier on Saturday.

Interim manager Gareth Southgate, who took over following the dismissal of Sam Allardyce, has also included Stoke right-back Glen Johnson while winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is back after a year’s absence.

England lie second in Group F, level on three points with leaders Scotland, after Lallana’s late goal gave Allardyce victory away to Slovakia in his only match in charge.
