England considering call-ups for two in-form stars after Steve Holland is sent on scouting mission
ENGLAND could recall Ollie Watkins and Fikayo Tomori to the squad, according to reports.
The pair were handed their England debuts by Gareth Southgate but have since fallen out of favour.
But they have hit form for their clubs in recent weeks with Tomori playing a pivotal role in AC Milan’s run to the Champions League semi-final.
According to The Athletic, Three Lions assistant boss Steve Holland watched him in action in the quarter-final second leg, when he kept Napoli’s 26-goal dangerman Victor Osimhen quiet for the most part.
Tomori, 25, is a player many have called on to be in the squad ahead of the likes of Harry Maguire, Eric Dier and Marc Guehi.
But Southgate revealed the former Chelsea star would have to cut out the errors before he is selected again.
Tomori has only three England caps with his last appearance coming against Italy in November.
Watkins, 27, last played six months prior to that and scored in a 3-0 friendly win against Cote d’Ivoire.
He is another star reportedly in contention for an England recall after hitting form since the turn of the year.
The striker is one of the most in-form attackers in Europe with 11 goals in his last 14 games, and he has helped to propel Aston Villa up the Premier League.

Holland was also in attendance to see Watkins score three goals in games against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle this month.
England have games against Malta and North Macedonia coming up in June and Watkins could be given a chance to shine.
