Andros Townsend and Kyle Walker have been called into the England squad by Roy Hodgson as the England manager faces a number of injury concerns ahead of the final two Euro 2016 qualifiers against Estonia on Friday and Lithuania three days later.

John Stones, who missed the Merseyside derby, is out the squad with a knee injury and has returned to Everton for his rehabilitation. Wayne Rooney, Jonjo Shelvey and Danny Ings all sat out the session today at St George’s Park. England have already qualified for Euro 2016 at the top of Group E.

The FA confirmed that the injured trio will be monitored ahead of Friday's match, where they also confirmed that 75,000 tickets have already been sold for the Wembley encounter.
