Uefa U21 Euros: Emile Smith Rowe named in England squad for first time

Mason Greenwood, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Emile Smith Rowe have been named in a strong England squad for next week's Uefa U21 Euro finals group stage.

Aidy Boothroyd's team face Croatia, Portugal and Switzerland in Group D, with only two of the four progressing to this summer's knockout tournament.

Arsenal's in-form attacker Smith Rowe is in the squad for the first time.

PSV Eindhoven midfielder Noni Madueke and West Brom goalkeeper Josh Griffiths are also new to the set-up.

United striker Greenwood and Chelsea midfielder Hudson-Odoi are two of a handful of established Premier League players in the squad, with Everton duo Ben Godfrey and Tom Davies, Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, Burnley's Dwight McNeil and Sheffield United pair Rhian Brewster and Aaron Ramsdale also among the pack.
