LONDON, March 18 — Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse has been called up to England’s squad for this month’s European Championship qualifiers, the Football Association said today. England manager Gareth Southgate had announced a 25-man squad last week but three players – Manchester City’s John Stones and Fabian Delph and Chelsea’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek – withdrew through injury.
“James Ward-Prowse has been called up to the England squad ahead of the UEFA EURO 2020 qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Montenegro,” the FA said in a statement. Ward-Prowse, 24, claimed one senior cap two years ago when England lost 1-0 to Germany in a friendly. He has scored six league goals for Southampton this season, including two free kicks against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in his last two Premier League games.
