Former Blue Cresswell in England Squad - Ipswich Town News

Former Blues left-back Aaron Cresswell has received his first international call-up, having been added to the England squad for the World Cup qualifier against Scotland on Friday and a friendly against Spain the following Tuesday.

Cresswell, 26, was with Town between 2011 and 2014, making 138 starts and scoring seven goals before moving on to West Ham for an initial £3.75 million. The fee could ultimately rise to £7 million but with no clause relating to international appearances.

Cresswell could face his former Town team-mate Christophe Berra on Friday with the central defender in the Scotland squad, while one-time Blues loanee Andros Townsend is in the England squad.

Sunderland keeper Jordan Pickford has also been added to Gareth Southgate's party.

Massive congratulations to @Aaron_Cresswell on a well deserved England call up 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🦁🦁🦁– Tommy Smith (@tommysmith1990) November 7, 2016
