Callum Hudson-Odoi has been called up to the England U21 squad for the first time ahead of home matches against Poland and Germany.

The Chelsea winger - who won the U17 World Cup in 2017 and has 9 caps for the U19s - has broken into the first team at Stamford Bridge this season, scoring four goals in 17 games.

Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Leicester midfielders Hamza Choudhury and James Maddison, Manchester City starlet Phil Foden, and Fulham winger Ryan Sessegnon all also feature in Aidy Boothroyd's 26-man squad.

England U21s will play in friendlies against Poland and Germany before heading out to this summer's U21 European Championships in Italy, and Boothroyd was excited about the crop of talent he has to select from ahead of the tournament, "It's an exciting time. Getting the boys back together to put in some preparation for the Euros and obviously two really good games this week against teams who could be our competitors in the summer."

England will play Poland in Bristol on March 21, before heading to Bournemouth to play Germany five days later.
