Nathaniel Clyne, Kieran Gibbs and Jonjo Shelvey named in England squad

Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne has been rewarded for his fine displays this season with a call up to the England squad.

The former Crystal Palace full back was named in Roy Hodgson's 21-man squad for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Estonia.

Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs and Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey also return to the senior England set-up.

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge was not included, following Reds boss Brendan Rodgers confirming that an agreement had been struck with Hodgson not to include the star who is expected to return from injury this weekend.

Clyne has been in good form for Southampton this year, scoring two goals in eight appearances.

The former Crystal Palace defender has eight Under-21 caps, but he has never played for the senior side before.

Shelvey's only cap for England came two years ago against San Marino, who come to Wembley on October 9 - three days before the Three Lions continue their qualification campaign in Estonia.

Luke Shaw and Calum Chambers have been dropped to the Under-21s, while Manchester United defender Phil Jones has been left out through injury.

Everton's 20-year-old defender John Stones has retained his place - as has Fabian Delph, who impressed on his full debut against Switzerland last month.

Adam Lallana returns after sitting out the Norway and Switzerland games through injury.

With Shaw in the Under-21s, Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs will provide competition for first-choice left-back Leighton Baines.

England squad for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Estonia is as follows:

F Forster (Southampton), B Foster (West Brom), J Hart (Manchester City), L Baines (Everton), G Cahill (Chelsea), N Clyne (Southampton), K Gibbs (Arsenal), P Jagielka (Everton), J Stones (Everton), F Delph (Aston Villa), J Henderson (Liverpool), A Lallana (Liverpool), J Milner (Manchester City), A Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), J Shelvey (Swansea), R Sterling (Liverpool), A Townsend (Tottenham), J Wilshere (Arsenal), R Lambert (Liverpool), W Rooney (Manchester United), D Welbeck (Arsenal).
