Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are named in England's World Cup squad.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have been included in England's 23-man squad for next month's World Cup finals.

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope is also included in Gareth Southgate's travelling party for Russia 2018, meaning no place for established number one Joe Hart.

Southgate has named a young group, which includes the uncapped Alexander-Arnold - a likely starter for Liverpool in next week's Champions League final - and Chelsea starlet Loftus Cheek, who boasts just two previous senior appearances.

As well as leaving out Hart following the West Ham United loanees loss of form, Southgate has also omitted Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere and Liverpool's Adam Lallana.

There is a recall to the side for Chelsea skipper Gary Cahill, though, with Alfie Mawson out injured and James Tarkowski only on the stand-by list.

Lewis Cook, Tom Heaton and Jake Livermore join Lallana and Tarkowski on the list of back-up options.

England's 23-man squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Butland, Pickford, Pope

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Cahill, Delph, Jones, Maguire, Rose, Stones, Trippier, Walker, Young.

Midfielders: Alli, Dier, Henderson, Lingard, Loftus-Cheek.

Forwards: Kane, Rashford, Sterling, Vardy, Welbeck
