England Under-21s manager Gareth Southgate has handed three players a debut call up ahead of their European Championship qualifier in Switzerland.

"It's an opportunity for new players," Southgate said.

"But also a lot of work for us to do to get the harmony within the group."

England, currently top of group nine and three points clear of Norway and Switzerland, will be without Duncan Watmore, Nathaniel Chalobah and Nathan Redmond who are all out injured.
