Gary Borrowdale

Gary Borrowdale and Wayne Routledge have been called up to the England U-20 squad for the match against Holland next month.

Both players have made the progression from the England Under-17s and will be looking to shine in front of new boss Nigel Pearson on October 10.

"The Dutch will be good opponents for my first chance to look at these players together," he said. "They're one of Europe's traditional big sides so they'll be a test, but we're looking forward to it."

Routledge will count himself unlucky that he wasn't picked for the Under-21s.

James Biggins - Nottingham Forest FC

Gary Cahill - Aston Villa FC
