RUBEN LOFTUS-CHEEK has been announced in the England 23-man squad for the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia.

The Lewisham-born midfielder, who was on loan from Chelsea for the 2017/18 season, has been picked by former Palace man Gareth Southgate for the World Cup which starts next month.

LOFTUS-CHEEK, who played 25 games for the Eagles, won the man-of-the-match award on his debut for England against Germany in November 2017.

The full squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Butland, Pickford, Pope

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Cahill, Delph, Jones, Maguire, Rose, Stones, Trippier, Walker, Young.

Midfielders: Alli, Dier, Henderson, Lingard, LOFTUS-CHEEK.

Forwards: Kane, Rashford, Sterling, Vardy, Welbeck
