Manchester City star Phil Foden called up to England U21s

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has been called up to the England Under 21 squad for the first time.

Arsenal's Reiss Nelson - on loan at Hoffenheim - and Leicester's Harvey Barnes, who is currently on loan at West Brom, are also included.

The trio have been selected for the final two Euro 2019 qualifiers against Andorra and Scotland, with England needing a point to reach next year's tournament in Italy and San Marino.

Boss Aidy Boothroyd said: 'Phil has got great respect from us, he's another player we want to push through and we can see him playing in the senior team but he's got to prove himself with us.

'He is a massive talent, we want him to get games and the more he gets the better he'll become.

'He's also training with the best players in the world and the current champions. He is going to get a great education at Manchester City.'
