Harvey Elliott receives first England U21 call-up for September internationals

Liverpool winger Harvey Elliott has received his first call-up to the England U21 squad ahead of their international games in September.

Elliott, 18, made his full Premier League debut in Liverpool's 2-0 win against Burnley on Saturday and is among a number of new inclusions in a 24-man squad - the first named by head coach Lee Carsley.

He is joined by Nottingham Forest loanee James Garner, Manchester City pair Cole Palmer and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Southampton's Valentino Livramento, Leeds' Charlie Cresswell and Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey.

Goalkeeper Etienne Green, who plays for St Etienne in Ligue 1, has been given his first England call-up at any level after previously representing France at international level.
