Hill handed first England senior call up with Arsenal star set to miss Croatia game

Bournemouth defender James Hill has received his first senior England call-up ahead of the upcoming Nations League fixtures.

The 24-year-old has joined Thomas Tuchel’s squad after previously representing England at Under-20 and Under-21 level.

Hill will now have the opportunity to earn his first senior cap during the international break.

Meanwhile, Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa will not be available for Thursday’s game against Croatia at Wembley.

Konsa is continuing to follow an individual programme but is expected to return to full training later in the week.

England are hopeful he will then be available for Sunday’s trip to Spain.
