Shelvey, Vardy make full England debuts

Jonjo Shelvey and Jamie Vardy have been selected to make their full England debuts in the Euro 2016 qualifier against San Marino this afternoon.

The duo's inclusions are two of nine changes made by Roy Hodgson from the Three Lions' last match in Slovenia three months ago.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart and captain Wayne Rooney are the only two players to keep their places, with Chris Smalling, Gary Cahill and Raheem Sterling dropping to the bench.

Rooney will become his country's all-time leading goalscorer if he scores two or more in Serravalle and reaches 50 to pass Sir Bobby Charlton's long-standing record.

San Marino: A. Simoncini; Bonini, Brolli, D. Simoncini, Berardi; Hirsch, Battistini, Chiaruzzi, M. Vitaioli; Selva Subs: Muraccini, Benedettini, Ales. Della Valle, Alex Della Valle, Valentini, F. Vitaioli, Berretti, Golinucci, Mazza, Tosi, Rinaldi, Stefanelli

England: Hart; Clyne, Stones, Jagielka, Shaw; Milner, Shelvey, Barkley; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rooney, Vardy Subs: Smalling, Butland, Walcott, Cahill, Carrick, Delph, Kane, Mason, Sterling, Gibbs, Heaton
