England has called Tottenham duo Kyle Walker and Andros Townsend into its squad for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania after Everton defender John Stones was ruled out.

Stones was absent from the 1-1 Merseyside derby draw against Liverpool at Goodison Park on Monday (AEDT) due to a knee problem, and he will remain sidelined for Estonia's visit to Wembley on Saturday (AEDT).

Right back Walker returns to the England set-up in place of Stones, while winger Townsend comes in as cover after captain Wayne Rooney, fellow forward Danny Ings and midfielder Jonjo Shelvey all missed training at St George's Park on Wednesday, having picked up weekend knocks with their clubs.

England has already qualified for Euro 2016 as Group E winner and victories from its final two qualifying games would see the Three Lions end their campaign with a 100 percent record.
