Manchester United duo Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho miss out and Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi earns...

Manchester United duo Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford have both been omitted from the latest England squad.

Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has named his squad for the upcoming friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast.

It includes a first call-up for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

The 21-year-old, formerly of Chelsea, has captained England at youth level and impressed Southgate in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker is another big-name omission from the 25-man list.

England take on Switzerland at Wembley on March 26 before welcoming the Ivory Coast to the home of football on March 29.

The decision to drop Rashford comes amid a disappointing season for the Red Devils forward.

However, many would’ve expected to see Sancho back in the squad following an upturn in form at Old Trafford.

On Sancho, Southgate added: “There are other attacking players in our squad who are ahead of him in our opinion. Jadon in the last few weeks his performances have improved but it is an area of the pitch where we have competition for places.

“With Marcus, he is in the same position as everyone else, whether they are in the squad or not they all have to play well in the next period, it is a difficult time for him, he is clearly not at his best.

“There is plenty of time, we know about Marcus, we know what he can bring to us.”

And the England boss revealed it was Guehi’s performances against top-class opposition which earned his maiden call-up.

Southgate said: “With Marc he has had a really consistent season, I have been really impressed on and off the ball.

“In the biggest games he has been really calm, we know a lot about him from the junior teams. There are some centre-halves who are pushing and very close but we have chosen Marc and Ben White.”
