Football news - Mason Greenwood earns first call-up to England Under 21s

Liverpool starlet Rhian Brewster looks set to join Greenwood in leading the front line as Young Lions manager Aidy Boothroyd bids to draw a line under a disappointing Euro 2019.

Hungary and Slovenia will host the 2021 tournament, and Boothroyd has called up Manchester City star Phil Foden alongside Wolves' highly-rated star Morgan Gibbs-White, Tottenham's Oliver Skipp and Arsenal pair Reiss Nelson and Joe Willock.

Chelsea youngster Reece James and Bournemouth's 20-year-old Lloyd Kelly miss out due to injury.

England failed to progress from the group stages this summer in France after drawing just one game and losing two.

Boothroyd's side start their group fixtures with a trip to Turkey next Friday before they host Kosovo in Hull three days later.

"I'm really excited by this new group of players and when I look at the squad we have put together, it's very encouraging to see that so many of them have been playing regular football in the Premier League already this season," said Boothroyd.

"Of course our biggest priority is player development and getting them ready for the senior side. It’s been particularly pleasing to see three of the players that were with us at the Euros this summer be called up into Gareth Southgate’s squad and we’ll work with every individual in this group to give them the chance of doing the same."
