Man Utd defender Shaw recalled to England squad
Luke Shaw scored the first senior goal of his career against Leicester this month
Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has been included in Gareth Southgate's 23-man England squad for September's fixtures against Spain and Switzerland.
Shaw, 23, last played for England in March 2017, as a second-half substitute in a 1-0 friendly defeat by Germany.
Liverpool pair Joe Gomez and Adam Lallana, and Burnley's James Tarkowski are also included in Southgate's first post-World Cup squad.
"I want us to try and capture what we had this summer," said Southgate.
"Once we're through this camp, there's going to be competition from others. People are going to have to play at a good level to retain their places."
Shaw, who has seven international caps, has enjoyed a strong start to the Premier League season, scoring his first senior goal against Leicester City this month.
His United team-mate Ashley Young, who helped England reach the World Cup semi-finals, has been left out of the squad, as has Phil Jones, who is injured.
Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy has been called up to replace the injured Nick Pope, joining Everton's Jordan Pickford and Stoke's Jack Butland as one of three goalkeepers.
