Here's the England squad for the World Cup in full...
There were very few surprises expected as Southgate announced his squad at 2pm on Thursday with a large chunk of the squad having previous tournament experience under the former Middlesbrough manager.
The 25-year-old has contributed six goals and four assists in 12 Premier League appearances this season, made all the more impressive with the Foxes struggling at the wrong end of the table. Southgate has decided to take Newcastle United’s Wilson, Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford as his three main striking options, while Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling can also play through the middle.
Other contenders such as Roma’s Tammy Abraham and Brentford’s Ivan Toney miss out with Wilson favoured over the pair.
