Spurs and ex-MK Dons midfielder Dele Alli handed debut England call-up
England play Estonia and Lithuania in European qualifiers.
His subsequent fast-tracking to the first team has seen him score his first Premier League goal against Leicester City, and now he is the first MK Dons academy product to receive a call up to the England squad.
Ali, 19, had only been plying his trade in League One last season before joining Spurs over the summer, but the teen has wasted no time in settling in to his new surroundings and has emerged as a vital player for Mauricio Pochettino in the early stages of the season.
However, there is no place for Ings’ Liverpool team-mate Daniel Sturridge, even though he has fully recovered from his hip injury.
John Stones will also have the opportunity to add to his six caps.
Bertrand will replace Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw, who is expected to be out for six months after breaking his leg in the Champions League defeat by PSV Eindhoven on 15 September.
England will host Estonia on October 9 at Wembley, before travelling to Vilnius three days later to face Lithuania.
Jones’ United teammate Michael Carrick is included despite recent injury concerns, but there were no places for Manchester United’s Ashley Young, Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse or Swansea’s Jack Cork despite their good form.
Captain Wayne Rooney is selected in attack, along with Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy. Who knows where he will end up?
He will compete with Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane, Ings and Theo Walcott for a place up front. “Very excited by Dele Alli”.
The Three Lions have already qualified for France 2016 with a 100 % record from their eight games. “The game in Lithuania is the one where, if any experimentation takes place, it’ll be there”. Jack Grealish, who this week declared for England, also misses out.
