England U21 coach Gareth Southgate is happy to count on Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw for their Euros playoff.
Shaw has dropped out of the senior squad for the double-header with Croatia.
"Leighton Baines did really well last month, so would Luke start for the seniors this time around? What's the best experience for him?" Southgate said.
"I think certainly from his club perspective playing two matches would be good because he has not had a lot of football.
"I know Louis van Gaal was very positive to him about it. Also, having been manager of a national team and spoken so much about the importance of the Under-21s in preparation for the Dutch last summer, I didn't think we were going to have an issue from the club.
"Then you're thinking where's the player with it because his world has changed a lot since we had him last November.
"He has played as many matches this campaign as our other left-backs, but his world has changed considerably.
"But he has been brilliant. Roy spoke to him, which I think was important, I then spoke to him before we met up and a really good chat since we got here.
"He is looking forward to the game. Yes, he played at the World Cup, he has played friendlies for the seniors, but he has only got three caps for us.
"So although he is making brilliant progress in his career, he is not the finished article so experiences like this can only help him."
