Pickford: Keeper receives England call

Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been called up to the senior England squad for the games against Scotland and Spain.

The stopper, who produced a world-class performance in the 2-1 win over Bournemouth last weekend, replaces injured Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster.

Pickford will link up with Gareth Southgate's squad this evening.

Meanwhile West Ham United's Aaron Cresswell has also been called up following an injury to Danny Drinkwater of Leicester City.

England take on Scotland at Wembley on Friday (November 11, KO 7.45pm) before hosting Spain the following Tuesday (November 15, KO 8pm).
