England Squad Named for Exciting Internationals

Southgate Selects 25-Man Group for Brazil and Belgium Clashes

Key Updates and Surprises in the Squad

England manager Gareth Southgate has announced his 25-man squad for the Three Lions' upcoming international matches against Brazil and Belgium. The squad features a mix of experienced and exciting young players, with some notable inclusions and omissions.

One of the most surprising selections is WEB Walker, who has been named as captain for the matches despite being in and out of the team in recent months. Walker is the seventh player under Southgate to lead England out more than once, a testament to his leadership qualities.

Another notable inclusion is striker Marcus Rashford, who has now played 34 matches from the bench, just three behind the record. Rashford has been in impressive form for Manchester United this season and will be hoping to make a significant impact for England in these matches.

The squad also includes 17-year-old prodigy Endrick, who scored his first goal for Brazil in their recent friendly against England. Endrick is one of the most highly-rated young players in world football and his inclusion in the squad is a sign of Southgate's faith in youth.
