England boss Gareth Southgate has lavished praise on Liverpool centre-back Joe Gomez

Gomez has been called-up to the Three Lions squad over the weekend and will likely start in place of the suspended John Stones against Spain on Monday night.

"[Gomez] is in really good form for his club and his matches for us against Spain and Brazil have been really polished," Southgate said.

"He's a young defender but he is a very good defender, good athleticism, uses the ball well. I'm looking forward to seeing him in this game. It's another opportunity for us to look at younger players.

"We're slowly building a squad of players who are comfortable playing at the highest level."
