Heaton, who now has two full international caps, and Keane, who will be hoping to win his first cap, have both been named in a 26 man squad although there is no place for Andre Gray who had been tipped in some quarters to get his first call up. Southgate has, instead, opted to recall Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe.
