Bournemouth defender James Hill earns first England call-up

Bournemouth defender James Hill earns first England call-up

The 23-year-old has been rewarded for his impressive performances for the Cherries, having featured in all 15 of their matches across competitions this season.

Hill, who has previously represented England at youth level, has been called up as cover for Ezri Konsa, who will be rested for England's opening clash against Croatia.

However, the Arsenal defender will remain with the squad and could feature against Spain in what is expected to be a crucial encounter to decide the winner of Nations League Pool A Group C.

Hill's inclusion follows another defensive change, with Dan Burn called up on Monday after Marc Guehi withdrew from the squad.

Guehi suffered an injury during the weekend defeat to Nottingham Forest and will remain at his club during the international break.

Burn, who has 11 senior England caps, has already joined up with the squad at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground.

Hill began his professional career at Fleetwood Town before joining Bournemouth in 2022 for a reported 1.2 million euros.
