England
have called up midfielder
James Ward-Prowse
for this month's
World Cup qualifiers
after
Kalvin Phillips
withdrew due to injury, the country's football association said on Tuesday.
Southampton captain Ward-Prowse, 26, was named in manager Gareth Southgate's provisional England squad for the European Championship but missed the final cut.
Leeds United midfielder Phillips, who played all seven games in England's run to the final at Euro 2020, was ruled out after being assessed by medical staff after their Premier League win over Watford at the weekend.
Striker
Tammy Abraham
and defender
Ben Chilwell
were called up by Southgate on Monday after
Reece James
pulled out due to injury.
England, top of Group I with 16 points from six games, face Andorra away on Saturday before playing Hungary at Wembley Stadium three days later.
