Roy Hodgson has included Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling and Jonjo Shelvey in his England squad to face Sweden in a friendly next week.
Sterling, 17, and Shelvey, 20, are joined by Reds skipper Steven Gerrard, who is set to win his 100th cap for his country.
Sterling is yet to make his England debut, after recently being linked to playing for Jamaica, his country of birth, whilst Shelvey has one senior cap to his name.
Glen Johnson is also included in the squad, but has missed the last few games for Liverpool due to injury.
There are no places in the squad for Stewart Downing or Jordan Henderson, who have struggled to play first team football this season.
