Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips, despite only recently returning from two months out with a shoulder problem, is in, as is centre-back Harry Maguire, who has struggled to get a game for Manchester United this season. However, Maguire's club team-mate Jadon Sancho has not made the squad. Maddison's inclusion is reward for his superb form for Leicester this season. He has been instrumental in the Foxes' resurgence following their poor start to the season and has six goals and four assists in 12 Premier League games. His only cap for England came almost three years ago to the day - in a Euro qualifier against Montenegro when he played 35 minutes. We have always said he is a good player. He has earned the right. We think he can give something slightly different to the other attacking players we have. Walker has proved his fitness to Southgate after undergoing groin surgery and not playing in more than a month. The England boss has also put his faith in Phillips, despite the midfielder having had injury struggles this season.

Having stuck with the same starting XI in his first two games, Gareth Southgate has rung the changes, making four alterations, on the back of England's below-par draw with the USA on Friday, with qualification for the last 16 still not assured. Foden's absence during the USA stalemate was widely criticised, but the Manchester City man will now get his chance from kick-off against Wales in Al-Rayyan. Walker arrived at the World Cup still recovering from a groin injury which ruled him out of the final few weeks of Manchester City's domestic season ahead of the tournament. He was only deemed fit enough for a place on the bench in England's first two games, and will play his first minutes since October 2 against Wales. Henderson was introduced from the bench against the USA to replace Jude Bellingham and was initially expected to replace the Borussia Dortmund midfielder on Tuesday, but it now appears both players will start in a midfield three.
