Newcastle defender Lewis Gibson has been included in the England squad for the Young Lions' upcoming UEFA Under-17 European Championships Elite Round qualifiers.
Durham-born Gibson, 16, already has eight caps for his country and is the younger brother of left-back Liam, who plays for the Magpies at under-23 level.
