World Cup : Soon To Be 21 Years Old, Ross Barkley Handed No 21 Shirt

The England Federation has confirmed the shirt numbers for the upcoming World Cup where the Three Lions are pitted in the same group as Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica.

Anglo - Nigerian midfielder Ross Barkley will sport the number 21 jersey while Wayne Rooney gets to keep his number 10 shirt.

The highly rated Everton starlet, who made his competitive debut for England barely nine months ago, clocks 21 on 5th December, 2014, and that same number has been handed to him by the England selectors.

Ross Barkley has suited up three times for the 1966 World Champions since his debut against Moldova.

England begin their campaign with a mouth watering clash against Italy on June 14 at Arena Amazonia, Manaus.
