Everton winger Anthony Gordon has been handed his first England Under-21 call up after Lee Carsley named his young Lions squad.

The 20-year-old is joined by Fleetwood defender James Hill with Carsley handing him a surprise promotion from the Under-20s.

Gordon has played 28 times for Everton since making his debut in 2017 and has made eight appearances this season.

Hill has made 15 appearances for Sky Bet League One Fleetwood this term and became the club's youngest ever player when he made his debut at 16 in 2018.

Carsley's youngsters face the Czech Republic in a Euro 2023 qualifier in Burnley next week before travelling to Georgia for a friendly on November 16.

England are third in Group G, five points behind leaders the Czech Republic with a game in hand.
