England team: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Bukayo Saka and Harvey Barnes land their first senior calls | Football news

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Bukayo Saka and Harvey Barnes have received their first senior call-up from England, while Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden have been eliminated.

After scoring a career-high 15 goals last season, the impressive start to Calvert-Lewin’s new campaign has propelled Everton to three wins out of three in the Premier League.

The 23-year-old is the Premier League’s top scorer with five, and also scored a hat-trick for the Toffees in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup win over West Ham.

The 19-year-old Saka has played just three times for Arsenal this season, but broke into the first team and impressed when he played as a full-back for the Gunners last season.

Meanwhile, Barnes helped Leicester rise to the top of the Premier League table, with the 22-year-old scoring in the Foxes’ win over Burnley.

As expected, Southgate shut out Greenwood and Foden after the pair were sent home from Iceland last month for violating coronavirus protocols by meeting two women inside the public areas of the team’s hotel.

Carragher: Calvert-Lewin is ready

Speaking after Everton’s win on Wednesday, Calvert-Lewin said it would be a “dream come true” to represent England.

He has benefited from being the focal point in an attacking trident involving Richarlison and James Rodriguez, and the England coach will be encouraged by Ancelotti’s tactical alteration to a 4-3-3 system that can similarly be deployed. for the national team.

Calvert-Lewin became the first player to score in each of Everton’s first three Premier League games in a single campaign since Steven Naismith in 2014/15, and with Wales friendly and Denmark on horseback. Between the Belgium showdown, Southgate has a chance to test out a functional Plan B in Harry Kane’s absence.

Speaking on the Kings of the Premier League program, which will return to the screens this Friday on Sky Sports Premier League at 8pm, Jamie Carragher said: “There is not much competition with Harry Kane for the position of center forward. There are a lot of forwards. , when you think of Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho.

“But in terms of true forwards, now Jamie Vardy has retired from international service, look at Danny Ings, maybe Tammy Abraham, they’ve had trouble with England before, but Calvert-Lewin is as good as those two.

“He was outstanding and got off to a great start. Carlo Ancelotti has had some of the best strikers in world football at times. He has put his faith in Calvert-Lewin and it is paying off. I’m a huge fan.”
