LONDON (Reuters) - England caretaker manager Gareth Southgate has recalled Marcus Rashford and included the uncapped Jesse Lingard in his first squad for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovenia after stepping in for the sacked Sam Allardyce.

Right back Glen Johnson returns for the first time since the 2014 World Cup while forward Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is recalled after a year's absence and Ryan Bertrand is also back in the squad named on Sunday, among five changes from the win in Slovakia.
