Barkley, Townsend, Lambert remain in England squad

Roy Hodgson has named Ross Barkley, Andros Townsend and Rickie Lambert in his England squad to face Poland and Montenegro.

Southampton striker Lambert is included in the squad, despite the return of Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and the previously suspended Danny Welbeck.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Townsend is in the squad, but there is no room for Ashley Young as Barkley is one of three Everton players included.

Joe Hart keeps his place and is named as one of three goalkeepers; the others being Fraser Forster and John Ruddy.
