Sheffield Utd goalkeeper Dean Henderson wins England call

Sheffield United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has won a call to the England squad.

Henderson has been called into the England squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Montenegro and Kosovo, with injured pair Tom Heaton and Ross Barkley dropping out.

Chelsea midfielder Barkley had been a doubt with an ankle injury while Aston Villa keeper Heaton is battling a calf problem.

Henderson, on loan at Sheffield United from Manchester United, has come in for Heaton but there are no plans to replace Barkley.

An FA statement read: "Ross Barkley and Tom Heaton have been ruled out of England's forthcoming UEFA EURO 2020 qualifiers through injury.

"Goalkeeper Dean Henderson has been added to Gareth Southgate's squad in place of Aston Villa's Heaton but no replacements are planned for Chelsea's Barkley.

"Henderson will arrive at St George's Park on Monday as England's now 26-man squad begin preparations for their final fixtures of 2019."
