England World Cup squad revealed: See the list in full
Gareth Southgate has picked the 23 players he'll be taking to Russia this summer
England manager Gareth Southgate has named the men he'll be guiding to glory (yes!) at the 2018 World Cup this summer – including uncapped Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Southgate plumped for a no-nonsense approach to his squad selection, deciding to name the full roster well before FIFA's June 4 deadline.
Reports on Monday had already confirmed that there were no places for goalkeeper Joe Hart and midfielder Jack Wilshere, while it was revealed on Tuesday morning that Fulham's 17-year-old sensation Ryan Sessegnon would also miss out. Jonjo Shelvey and Ryan Bertrand are among other hopefuls who haven't made the cut.
Tom Heaton, James Tarkowski, Lewis Cook, Jake Livermore and Adam Lallana are on the standby list.
England face Nigeria in a World Cup warm-up at Wembley on June 7, then Costa Rica at Elland Road five days later. The squads jets off to Russia on June 12, before facing Tunisia in their tournament opener on June 18.
Read on below for the 23 players who'll be representing the Three Lions in Russia...
