Former Albion loanee Jesse Lingard has been called into the England squad ahead of Tuesday's game against France.
The 22-year-old Manchester United forward joined the squad today after two players were forced out through injury.
Lingard's Old Trafford team-mate Michael Carrick was carried off in the last minute of England's 2-0 defeat to Spain on Friday.
Carrick has returned to his club and will not be available for England's final game of the year.

Jamie Vardy, who sat out the game in Alicante with a knock sustained in Leicester's Premier League encounter with Watford last weekend, will also miss out.It will be Lingard's first time with the senior squad, although he has made 11 appearances for the under-21s.
He made his debut at under-21 level as a substitute against Scotland when Hodgson took charge of the team in August 2013.
Lingard played for Albion under Oscar Garcia in the final ten weeks of the 2013-14 campaign, scoring in the play-off semi-final at home to Derby and totalling 17 appearances and four goals.
