Garry Monk: Shelvey has worked very hard

Swansea City's Jonjo Shelvey has "grown up," prompting his call-up to Roy Hodgson's squad for England's Euro 2016 qualifiers next month.

Swansea City manager Garry Monk said Jonjo Shelvey deserved his call-up to the England squad after making a bright start to the Premier League season.

Shelvey was among the 22 players selected by Roy Hodgson on Sunday for next month's Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Switzerland.

The 23-year-old, who earned his one and only cap against San Marino in 2013, has hit the ground running this term after meeting with Monk at the end of 2014-15 to address his discipline and application.
