ROY HODGSON HAS named three uncapped players in his squad for England’s international double-header against Ireland and Slovenia.
Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton, QPR’s Charlie Austin and Leicester’s Jamie Vardy have been called up for the Dublin friendly on 7 June and the Euro 2016 qualifier in Ljubljana.
Austin’s 17 league goals weren’t enough to help QPR avoid relegation while Vardy scored four times Leicester miraculously managed to beat the drop.

Heaton — who has represented England up to U21 level — kept eight clean sheets for relegated Burnley.
Ireland boss Martin O’Neill named an extended 33-man panel last week but plans to whittle down the numbers before the squad assembles on 1 June.
The England friendly comes just six days before Ireland host Scotland in a make-or-break Group D qualifier on 13 June.
