Shaw OUT, Kane IN - England Under-21 squad announced for European Championship


Shaw OUT, Kane IN - England Under-21 squad announced for European Championship


Tottenham striker Harry Kane has been named in the England squad for the European Under-21 Championship finals.
Spurs had reservations about their star striker going to the tournament in the Czech Republic after a long season, but coach Gareth Southgate named him among a 27-man party at a press conference on Wednesday.
Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has been left out of the squad which will be reduced to 23 players for the tournament.
Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal said Shaw needed to rest this summer after an injury-plagued season, and the Red Devils full-back was left out of Southgate's party for the tournament.
Kane's situation is complicated by the fact that Spurs play a friendly in Malaysia on May 27 and in Sydney three days later. The Under-21 squad is due to meet in early June, but Kane will join up later on.
Everton defender John Stones is included in the squad for the tournament, which takes place in the Czech Republic from June 17-30.
Senior internationals Ross Barkley, Raheem Sterling and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were eligible but have not been selected.
England's initial 27-man squad is as follows...
Goalkeepers
Marcus Bettinelli (Fulham)
Jonathan Bond (Watford)
Jack Butland (Stoke City)
Defenders
Calum Chambers (Arsenal)
Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur)

Jake Forster-Caskey (Brighton & Hove Albion)
