Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has been called into the England squad for the first time ahead of the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro.
The teenage sensation joined up with Gareth Southgate’s squad at St George’s Park just hours after travelling to Bristol to join Aidy Boothroyd’s Under-21s side.
The call-up comes after Chelsea team-mate Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Manchester City pair Fabian Delph and John Stones pulled out through injury, along with Manchester United’s Luke Shaw.
Southgate drafted in Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse earlier on Monday and 18-year-old Hudson-Odoi will also have the chance to impress as he pushes for an international debut.
Hudson-Odoi who has never started a Premier League match attracted strong interest from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in January. England are set to host Czech Republic in their Group A opener at Wembley on Friday before visiting Montenegro on Monday
