Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon has been selected for England's 24-man training camp ahead of the Under-21 European Championships next month. The £40m winger has struggled to hold down a first-team place since joining Eddie Howe's side in January but will be hoping for some much-needed minutes when the Young Lions travel to Georgia and Romania in the coming weeks.
Lee Carsley's England will face Israel, Czechia and holders Germany in their group as they bid to win the tournament for the first time since 1984. Gordon will be joined in the training camp by the likes of Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White, Arsenal's Emile Smith-Rowe and Chelsea's Noni Madueke.
Carsley will name his final tournament squad on June 14 with Gordon expected to play a part should he avoid injury. His call up comes as Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson were selected for Gareth Southgate's latest senior squad.
