John Stones to be handed first England start in Norway friendly

John Stones will be awarded his first England start in tomorrow's friendly meeting against Norway.

The 20-year-old defender, who penned a new five-year contract at Everton last month, has been selected at right-back by manager Roy Hodgson for the Wembley meeting.

New Three Lions captain Wayne Rooney also starts, taking his place alongside Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge in a strong-looking starting lineup.

England follow up tomorrow's game with a trip to Switzerland to begin their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

England XI: Hart; Stones, Jones, Cahill, Baines; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Wilshere, Sterling; Rooney, Sturridge
