Harry Maguire takes great confidence from his England selection ahead of the likes of Gary Cahill, but there is no chance of the defender resting on his laurels ahead of the World Cup.
Just three months before the finals get under way in Russia, the Three Lions continue their preparations with warm-up friendlies against Holland and Italy.
Leicester's Maguire looks well placed to add to those three caps in the coming days and, remarkably, is the second most experienced out-and-out centre-back option selected in this 27-man squad
Chelsea skipper Cahill has been overlooked for these friendlies a year on from wearing the England captain's armband, while the likes of Chris Smalling and Michael Keane are among the others omitted.
