LONDON (Reuters) -England called up Brentford striker Ivan Toney but kept faith with most of their World Cup quarter-finalists on Thursday as head coach Gareth Southgate named his squad for next week's opening Euro 2024 qualifiers in Italy and at home to Ukraine.

Southgate, who considered stepping down after England's 2-1 defeat by France at the finals in Qatar, sprung a surprise by including the in-form Toney in the 25-man squad.
