Jack Colback included in Roy Hodgson's new-look England squad

Newcastle United's Jack Colback is included in Roy Hodgson's new-look England squad for games against Norway and Switzerland.

Newcastle United midfielder Jack Colback has been named in Roy Hodgson's new-look England squad for games against Norway and Switzerland.

Four Premier League players have received their senior call-ups, including Colback, Arsenal defender Calum Chambers, Aston Villa's Fabian Delph and Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose.

This is the first squad picked by Hodgson since captain Steven Gerrard and midfielder Frank Lampard both announced their international retirements following the Three Lions' failed World Cup campaign in Brazil.

Tottenham winger Andros Townsend has returned to the fold after missing out on a spot in Brazil due to injury, while Everton defender John Stones has also been included.

England will face Norway next Wednesday in a friendly at Wembley prior to taking on Switzerland in Basel for the nation's first Euro 2016 qualifier.

England squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Southampton), Ben Foster (West Bromwich Albion), Joe Hart (Manchester City)

Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Calum Chambers (Arsenal), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), John Stones (Everton)

Midfielders: Jack Colback (Newcastle United), Fabian Delph (Aston Villa), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal) Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Andros Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)

Forwards: Rickie Lambert (Liverpool), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United)
