Euro 2024 qualifiers: Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze called up to England squad for first time

Eberechi Eze has been called up to the England squad for the first time for next month's Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.

Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling has been left out by mutual decision after talks with boss Gareth Southgate.

But attacking midfielder Eze has been rewarded for his form at Crystal Palace that has seen him score six goals in his last eight Premier League matches.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Tyrone Mings and Lewis Dunk have also been recalled.

Dunk, whose only previous cap came against USA in 2018, returns to the squad after helping Brighton qualify for Europe for the first time in the club's history.
