Gareth Southgate has named his England squad to take on Ukraine and Scotland, calling up four Manchester City players.
Manchester City defender John Stones will miss England's two fixtures in September as he continues to recover from a muscle injury.
England have not risked Stones for their two fixtures against Ukraine and Scotland, while Kalvin Phillips has been selected after failing to feature in any of City's five competitive games this season so far. Southgate has stressed the importance of players selected for England duty playing regularly but has continued to select Phillips when fit despite his bit-part role for City.
Explaining his selection, Southgate said that Phillips was selected due to his positional ability, but his lack of playing time is problematic in the long run - likewise with Manchester United's Harry Maguire.
