Calum Chambers, Saido Berahino named in England Under-21 squad

Calum Chambers, Saido Berahino and John Stones are named in Gareth Southgate's England Under-21 side for the upcoming international break.

Arsenal defender Calum Chambers and West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino are among the 24-man party involved in the England Under-21s' upcoming fixtures against Czech Republic and Germany.

Manager Gareth Southgate has picked the duo, as well as Everton defender John Stones, after they were left out of Roy Hodgson's senior squad for the international break.

Southampton left-back Matt Targett has received his first call-up to the Under-21s due to his impressive performances in the Premier League this season, while his teammate James Ward-Prowse has returned to the squad.

There is also a place for Manchester United's Jesse Lingard, who has not featured for the Young Lions since May due to injury.

The Under-21s will face Czech Republic in Prague on March 27 and Germany in Middlesbrough three days later.

England Under-21 squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Marcus Bettinelli (Fulham), Jonathan Bond (Watford), Jack Butland (Stoke City)

Defenders: Calum Chambers (Arsenal), Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Luke Garbutt (Everton), Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough), Carl Jenkinson (West Ham United - loan from Arsenal), Michael Keane (Burnley), Liam Moore (Brentford – loan from Leicester City), John Stones (Everton), Matt Targett (Southampton)
