James has been capped 21 times by the Three Lions and featured in both World Cup qualifiers during the September international break: a 2-0 victory over Andorra and a comprehensive 5-0 win away in Serbia.

The 25-year-old will be hoping to make further appearances under England head coach Thomas Tuchel, with a friendly against Wales taking place at Wembley on Thursday 9 October and a World Cup qualifier against Latvia set for Tuesday 14 October.

England currently sit top of Group K and are on course to secure a place at next summer's World Cup after taking maximum points from their qualifiers thus far.
