2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier Second Round - Jack Wilshere recalled to England squad for Scotland, Spain games

Gareth Southgate has brought Jack Wilshere back into the England squad for the matches against Scotland and Spain.

Ahead of Friday's World Cup qualifier against Scotland, it will be the first time the Arsenal midfielder, currently on loan at Bournemouth, has been included in the squad since the Euro 2016 finals.

The 24-year-old midfielder has been out of the squad since the European Championship in June, after being overlooked by Sam Allardyce and interim manager Gareth Southgate.

A knee injury had ruled out Dele Alli but his Tottenham teammate, striker Harry Kane, returns to England duty after missing last month’s qualifiers against Malta and Slovenia with an ankle injury.
