Carl Rushworth Handed England Under 21s Call-Up

The stopper has capped off a series of solid displays by earning an international call.

Walsall goalkeeper Carl Rushworth has been handed a call-up to the England Under 21s squad for their upcoming UEFA Under 21 Championship qualifiers away at Slovenia and Andorra.

Rushworth, who arrived in WS1 on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer, has been called up to Lee Carsley's squad in place of Josh Griffiths.

As a result, the 20-year-old will miss tonight's Papa John's Trophy match against Northampton Town and Saturday's Sky Bet League Two clash with Salford City.
