Tottenham duo Andros Townsend and Kyle Walker called up to England squad

Andros Townsend celebrates after scoring in a friendly against Italy in March

TOTTENHAM duo Andros Townsend and Kyle Walker have been drafted into the England squad after John Stones withdrew through injury and Wayne Rooney sat out training.

Joining England captain Rooney on the sidelines at St George’s Park yesterday were Danny Ings and Jonjo Shelvey. All three are nursing knocks sustained with their club sides ahead of Friday’s Euro 2016 qualifier with Estonia.
Those absences saw England coach Roy Hodgson recall Townsend, who last featured against Slovenia in June, and Walker, whose last cap came in March against Italy.

The withdrawal of Stones with a knee injury is a blow for Hodgson, who was planning to experiment in the second match of the double header against Lithuania next Monday.
England have already qualified for the finals and are looking to record 10 wins out of 10 in qualifying.
