England Squad vs Serbia & South Korea 2019
David Beckham has selected his squad to face off against Serbia in a Euro 2020 Qualifier. The same 23-man squad will then square off against South Korea in a friendly match.
Taking a break from an intense month of May at Bayern Munich, Beckham will fly to Belgrade, Serbia with assistant Ryan Giggs to meet up with the England boys.
Tom Huddlestone has been recalled back to the international team after an impressive run of form for Chelsea. Since being dumped by Liverpool in January, Huddlestone has joined the Blues and has made 12 league appearances for the remaining months of the Premier League, and has been in good form, resulting in his return to the national team set-up.
Stoke City target man
Andy Carroll also misses out on a place in the squad unfortunately due to his low appearance count for the Potters this year.
Due to captain
Wayne Rooney's injury though, Carroll's replacement is, bizarrely, 19-year-old Saints striker
Jamie Barry who has scored 17 goals in 44 Championship appearances on loan at Burnley this season. Although only possessing a meagre count of 4 England Under-21 caps, Barry is ready for senior team action, well, according to David Beckham.
Bayern Munich defender
Fedele Lenti also returns to the national team after being overlooked the last time.
Carroll's teammate, young Stoke City striker
Mason Bennett has also been called up ahead of Celtic's
Gabby Agbonlahor. Agbonlahor has been on a hot streak of form for the Scottish giants but Beckham oddly sees something better in Stoke's number 10.
