Chelsea attacker Callum Hudson-Odoi is back in the England squad during the international break and will hope to enhance his growing reputation.
The winger earned his two senior caps for the Three Lions earlier in 2019, as he featured in victories over Czech Republic and Montenegro in European Championship qualifiers.

After a clash in the England camp with defender Joe Gomez, Southgate has confirmed that Raheem Sterling has been dropped for the match against Montenegro.
It seems like tempers spilled over from the Manchester City defeat to Liverpool, but the pair have now moved on and drawn a line under it.
Sterling’s absence on Thursday definitely leave a void in the England XI, as he’s become a key player in recent years and has developed into a world-class talent at Manchester City.
It looks like it could be two from three out of Hudson-Odoi, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho for the wide positions.
Chelsea fans should hope that Hudson-Odoi is given the chance in midweek to show his talents on the international stage and there are many who feel he has a huge future ahead of him in an England shirt.

Christian Pulisic and Willian are rightfully the two starting wingers at present for the Blues, so the gauntlet has been put down to Hudson-Odoi to raise his game.
