On Monday Hodgson named a 26-man squad for the upcoming games against Turkey and Australia, including the likes of Jack Wilshere – who has not been part of a squad since last summer – and Andros Townsend, recalled after a good end to the campaign with Newcastle United.

The group will train on Wednesday evening and will remain at St. George's Park until Saturday, when they will transfer to Manchester ahead of the following day's game against Turkey.


Tickets are still available for Sunday's game, priced from £25 for adults and £10 for under-16s.
