Theo Walcott has retained his place in the England starting eleven as Gareth Southgate’s men take on Slovenia in their World Cup qualifier.
Kieran Gibbs was a late call-up as he cut short his holiday in Dubai to replace the injured Ryan Bertrand but the Arsenal full-back must make do with a place among the substitutes.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will join Gibbsy on the bench as Southgate has stuck with Jesse Lingard on the wing. As expected, Wayne Rooney is finally dropped.
Here are the teams:
