Antonio makes England cut, Wilshere, Barkley, Rashford lead omissions

Sam Allardyce's desire for something different in his first England squad was clear when it was revealed that he had attempted to select French-born midfielder Steven N'Zonzi, formerly of Blackburn and now at Sevilla.

The fact that N'Zonzi played for France's under-21 team before he became eligible for England via residency meant he could not be selected. But Allardyce did spring a few surprises ahead of next Sunday's World Cup qualifying match against Slovakia.

Antonio the headline maker

It had been suggested that Allardyce would turn towards old club West Ham and he did so, but in unexpected fashion.
