Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Ryan Mason has been drafted into Roy Hodgson’s England squad.
The inclusion of the 23-year-old follows the withdrawal of Liverpool’s Adam Lallana through injury.

Mason, a regular for Spurs this season, has previously represented the Three Lions at U19 and U20 level.
Lallana was not the only absentee as the senior team gathered at St. George’s Park on Monday afternoon in preparation for the forthcoming fixtures against Lithuania, at Wembley, and Italy away in Turin.
Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph remained at home with a sickness bug, but is expected to link up with the Three Lions later this week.
