Shelvey and Vardy earn England call-ups

Swansea City midfielder Jonjo Shelvey and Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy have been rewarded for good early season form with call-ups to the England squad to face San Marino and Switzerland.

Former Liverpool star Shelvey won his only Three Lions cap against San Marino in 2012 but has been recalled by manager Roy Hodgson following a string of impressive performances for the Welsh side, who defeated Manchester United on Sunday.

Vardy has scored two goals in four games thus far this season, and was previously selected in the squad for the friendly clash with the Republic of Ireland.

The Three Lions, who will be led by captain Wayne Rooney, can qualify for Euro 2016 with victories in both clashes.
