James Maddison is in the England squad for the World Cup in 2022.
The recent club form of both players has earned them a call-up to the England squad for the upcoming tournament in the Middle East.
Maddison is playing well. He may be able to give us something different that we don't have now.
He's playing as well as any of the attackers. He is not the same as the other people. I think it's necessary.

Maddison and Wilson both played for England in the fall of 2019.
Among English players, Maddison has had one of the highest number of goal involvements since August 2021.
Brendan Rodgers said that Maddison was one of the best players in the premier league.
James and his family are very happy. Rodgers said he was delighted to see that talent in the tournament.
I think his level of consistency, the work ethic, the talent and what he's proven over the last few years has swung that decision for him because he's a fantastic player and one of the best players in the premier league. I'm very happy for him.

James wants to be the best that he can be.
My case was really reinforcing about the next World Cup when I spoke to him this morning, even though we didn't know if he was in the squad.
Whether you get the decision or not, he's got that mentality to progress and develop. It's good news for him and his country.
"We've wanted to make sure we have the balance right. In this day and age squad is more important than ever, with five subs you can change almost half your team. "You want different things at different stages of matches and at different stages of the tournament. "We've had to cover a couple of players that aren't fully match fit, so having 26 meant we were able to take some risks we weren't able to with 23.
"We think we have the cover we need, we are lighter on depth in some areas than others in our country, but we think we have everything covered."
It will be the first senior World Cup for the 21-year-old, who only got his first cap in the second half against San Marino. He has three more caps.
White was included in the squad for Euro 2020 and is on the plane. He did not play for England as they finished as runners-up, but injuries to full-backs such as Reece James and Ben Chilwell, along with White's own outstanding form, has resulted in him being included in the squad forQatar.
Manchester City pair Kyle Walker and KalvinPhillips were included despite a lack of match fitness due to recent injuries, while Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been named in the squad despite his limited game time
One of the best centre-backs is Harry. We have a lot of players in the squad that have been to tournaments and performed well, so we know what we need.
I think thatalvin is free of injury because he played last night for Man City. He won't be able to play seven 90 minutes. It will not be possible.
He is free of injury and we don't have a lot of cover for that role in the country. Kalvin is a great player and we think that is a risk.
Kyle will be available before the end of the group stage because he is not back in full training yet.

We had to make a difficult decision about whether or not to include the player we think is a fantastic player in the tournament, if everything went well.
I don't think we can take a player who is unavailable for the group stages because there were too many unknowns. In some circles, that would be considered arrogant.
Kyle is a long way ahead of the situation. He's moving well.
Notable omissions include Ivan Toney and Tammy Abraham. Rounding out the defenders who did not earn a place were Fikayo Tomori and the others.
“Tammy’s had a poor run of scoring form at the wrong time, really, and it’s not a case of that we are three or four weeks away from a finals and the start of the first match. "We are now 10 days away so form could be more important. "We are watching their club form, but we don’t really know where the players are until we see them face-to-face and until we see them on the training pitch. We get regular medical updates from their clubs but there will be medical issues that we are not completely aware of yet.
"We know the form we are seeing in the matches, but even so, you still don’t get the full picture from the players until you are able to speak to them, work with them and see how they train with each other.”
Pickford, Ramsdale, and Pope are the goalkeepers.
Goalkeepers: John Stones (Man City), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Kyle Walker (Man City).
Midfielders include: Jude Bellingham, KalvinPhillips, Jordan Henderson, andMason Mount.
Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, and James Maddison are among the forwards.
Sky sports' Nick Wright.
James Maddison is a departure from the norm. International experience and familiarity are preferred by the England boss. Maddison doesn't give him either.
It was clear that what he gives him was worth changing tack on. Since the start of last season, Maddison has claimed 18 goals and 12 assists in 47 games in the premier league.
His numbers are better than those of any of his peers and while there may not be an obvious spot for him in England's line-up, his creative flair was deemed worth making room for.
In tight games of major tournament football, Maddison's spontaneity could prove to be the difference between victory and defeat.
There is more than enough experience in the other parts of the squad.
His preference for those qualities can be seen in the fact that he didn't bring in a left-back to support him after Ben Chilwell's injury.

Sky Sports News is led by a senior reporter.
James Maddison's inclusion is one of the notable headlines.
There are a number of players that miss out as a result of that, and one of them is Ben White, who was included in the squad.
He is one of four fit full-backs in the squad.
Southgate wanted a player who could play both centre-back and right-back, and he went for that instead of one of the other full-back options."
KalvinPhillips, who has played very little football for Man City this season after undergoing shoulder surgery, has been offered more support by him. He needs that extra body in the middle of the field.
He has been pragmatic in his approach to this.
