Ben Chilwell and Demarai Gray called up by England as Leicester duo make squad for Switzerland friendly

The pair join club teammate Harry Maguire in Gareth Southgate's squad and could be in line to make their senior debuts for the Three Lions.

Chilwell and Gray have both played for England at Under 21 level but could now be set to join the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli for the arrival of Switzerland at Wembley this week.

Chilwell is expected to deputise for Luke Shaw, who suffered a head injury in the defeat to Spain on Saturday.

Shaw’s head appeared to clatter the floor following a challenge by Dani Carvajal.

And the Manchester United left-back needed oxygen before he was stretchered off the field.

Shaw has since revealed he is OK, despite having a precautionary X-ray before returning to United.

Meanwhile, Gray will fill the hole left behind by Raheem Sterling’s departure.

Southgate refused to call up a like-for-like replacement when the winger left England’s training base with a back injury.

And Gray could get the nod in attack should Southgate continue with his favoured 3-5-2 formation.
