Speaking to the FAon the selection of Antonio, Big Sam saidI think he's in outstanding form.
This is another lad with a great journey “ it's a fantastic journey that he's been on, from non-league to now an international call-up. He scored nine goals in his first season and he's a terrific athlete, a good crosser and a goal-scorer."
Furthermore,Luke Shaw will be another welcome face after his return from a long injury lay off thanks to a broken leg suffered vs PSV last year.
Arsenal star Jack Wilshere and Everton's Ross Barkley both miss out, while Theo Walcott is recalled.
The full squad is as follows:

Talking to the FA ahead of the announcement, Allardyce said:"I think every player that's on top of his game at the moment and every player who's played for England recently, we've monitored through the start of the Premier League..."
Let's hope he made the right decisions and that the Three Lions can brush asidetheoppositioninTrnava!
