Newcastle United star snubbed from England squad as £32m duo called-up

Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson have been named in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine and friendly match Scotland next month while Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope misses out once again. Pope was left out of the previous England squad after undergoing surgery on his hand.

Despite returning to full fitness and starting each of United’s opening three Premier League matches, Pope has been left out. Everton’s Jordan Pickford, Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale and Crystal Palace’s Sam Johnstone are the three goalkeepers called-up to the Three Lions squad.

Wilson keeps his place in the squad after scoring during the previous international break against Malta while Trippier, a virtual mainstay in the England set-up under Southgate, retains his spot.

England face Ukraine in Poland on September 9 before playing Scotland at Hampden Park on September 12. Newcastle youngster Elliot Anderson has been called-up to the Scotland squad for the first time and could feature against the country of his birth.

England currently sit top of their qualifying group with four wins from their opening four games.
