Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has received his first call-up to the England squad for the upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.
Mainoo, 18, was originally named in the Under-21 squad but has been promoted to Gareth Southgate’s senior side.
England play Brazil on Saturday and Belgium on 26 March – both at Wembley – their final games before Southgate names his squad for Euro 2024.
The rest of the 25-man squad reported to St George’s Park on Tuesday.
United academy graduate Mainoo has been capped by England at under-17, under-18 and under-19 level.
The Stockport-born teenager made his first Manchester United start against Everton in November and has gone on to make a further 19 appearances.
He scored his first goal for the club in a FA Cup fourth-round win at Newport at the end of January, before netting a late winner against Wolves in the Premier League four days later.
