Ben White recalled to England squad, Rashford and Sancho left out

Ben White has earned a recall to the England squad for March's international friendlies with Switzerland and Ivory Coast, but there is no sign of Marcus Rashford or Jadon Sancho.

White has enjoyed a stellar season with Arsenal since his £50m arrival from Brighton & Hove Albion and is one of four Gunners players to make the cut alongside Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.

However, Rashford has been left out of the squad amid his struggles for game time and form with Manchester United, while fellow Red Devil Sancho has not made the cut either.

Marc Guehi has earned his first senior call-up for England alongside White, Harry Maguire, Conor Coady, Tyrone Mings and John Stones, but AC Milan's Fikayo Tomori has been overlooked.

Chelsea right-back Reece James - despite his injury woes - has also made the squad as Kyle Walker misses out, while Burnley shot-stopper Nick Pope joins Ramsdale and Jordan Pickford as Gareth Southgate's goalkeeping options.

Jude Bellingham, Conor Gallagher and Mason Mount all provide youthful midfield options for Southgate, as Roma's Tammy Abraham provides backup and support to Harry Kane up top.

ENGLAND SQUAD IN FULL:

GK: Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale

DEF: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Coady, Marc Guehi, Reece James, Harry Maguire, Tyrone Mings, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Ben White

MID: Jude Bellingham, Conor Gallagher, Jordan Henderson, Mason Mount, Declan Rice, James Ward-Prowse

ATT: Tammy Abraham, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Raheem Sterling
