Elliot Anderson has received his first call-up to the senior England squad - reward for the 22-year-old's excellent displays since his move to Nottingham Forest.

Anderson was part of the England Under-21 side that retained the European Championship in Slovakia in the summer.

He was an important part of that team, with spectators and, importantly, FA staff remarking about how he played like a senior professional.

Anderson was named in team of the tournament and looks like he is going to be given his chance to cement his place as the third midfielder in Thomas Tuchel's side.

Nobody has been able to tie down the place next to Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham and, even though Bellingham is out for this window, Anderson can show the England manager what he might be able to bring to a World Cup side.
