Tyler Morton is already enjoying a successful loan spell at Blackburn Rovers this season and this has been rewarded with more good news, his first England Under-21 call-up.
The Wirral-born midfielder was initially on the waiting list for Lee Carsley’s squad but will now join Harvey Elliott and the rest of the squad for friendly matches against Italy and Germany’s youth teams next week.
After starting in seven of the last 10 games for the Lancashire club, his set-pieces have proven very useful for the Championship side, as has his ability to replace centre-back as well.

With a reported overhaul of Jurgen Klopp’s midfield due next summer, the boyhood Red will be hoping he can force a way into the manager’s thoughts, with promising performances during his loan spell.
That is certainly something that has been done in the first few weeks of the campaign and should be all the motivation needed to continue this for the rest of the season.
Hopefully this period will also provide a maiden appearance at this level, as the 19-year-old continues to go from strength to strength.
You can see the confirmation of Morton’s call up via @Rovers on Twitter:
