Johnstone, Guehi, Eze all earn call ups to the England squad. Well deserved lads.
La la la your mum |

Well done to all three of them I remember being mortified in 1989 when we splashed out a world record fee for a goalkeeper. What a waste of scarce resources, I thought, when we've got a perfectly good #1 in Perry Suckling. The rest, as they say, is history.

I don't know, but my first thought was that Fraser Forster and Alex McCarthy might have been in the same England squad when they were at Southampton a few years ago. I just Googled their names though and couldn't find a squad with them both in, but did find that McCarthy was called up to replace Forster on one occasion when Forster had to withdraw due to injury (vs Slovakia in 2016). Another possible pair that came to mind was David Seaman and Richard Wright while they were at Arsenal, but it seems not. Wright had only one call-up while at Arsenal, and Seaman wasn't in the squad for that game (vs Netherlands in 2001). Maybe someone else can think of another possible pairing, but I don't think I can. Could be a first for England! Good question!
