Newcastle youngster Adam Wilson has been named in the England under-18 squad for the first time.
The teenager has earned his first international call-up at any level for three games to be played this month. The 20-man squad is largely made up of players from last year's FIFA Under-17 World Cup group, but Wilson's form for Newcastle has seen him included.
Although listed in the squad as a defender, the former Newcastle City Juniors player usually plays for the Magpies as a left-winger, although he can operate as a full-back.
England face Qatar at St. George's Park on Wednesday, 21st March before taking on Argentina two days later.
