Gareth Southgate names Dele Alli in England squad

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli is named in the squad for England's upcoming World Cup qualifiers, despite the possibility of receiving a ban from FIFA.

Midfielder Dele Alli has been named in the squad for England's upcoming World Cup qualifiers, despite the possibility of a suspension.

In England's most recent fixture with Slovakia, Alli appeared to make what could be interpreted as an obscene gesture, although replays suggested that the player was communicating with teammate Kyle Walker rather than an opponent or the referee.

FIFA is yet to decide whether to punish Alli, but that has not prevented Gareth Southgate from selecting the 21-year-old in his latest squad.

Manchester City's Fabian Delph has been handed a recall to the group after his recent displays for the Premier League leaders, but there is no place for Jamie Vardy who misses out with a hip injury.

Everton defender Michael Keane has been included, despite being set to miss the club's Europa League fixture on Thursday night.

Full squad

Goalkeepers: Butland, Forster, Hart, Pickford

Defenders: Bertrand, Cresswell, Cahill, Jones, Keane, Maguire, Smalling, Stones, Trippier, Walker

Midfielders: Delph, Dier, Henderson, Lingard, Livermore, Alli, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sterling

Forwards: Defoe, Kane, Rashford, Sturridge
