Southampton defender Nathaniel Clyne has been called up to the England squad for the first time for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Estonia.

Elsewhere, Arsenal left-back Kieran Gibbs has received his first England call-up since November 2013, while Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey has also been recalled by Roy Hodgson.

Clyne has excelled with the Saints this season, and had previously played for England at Under-19 and Under-20 level.

"He's impressed us for a while. Even before the World Cup he was a name we were constantly considering," Hodgson said today.

Arsenal's Calum Chambers also drops down to Under-21 level.

Hodgson, however, said that he still classes those players as "senior", and they move down to the Under-21s because of the importance of the play-off tie.

"[They] Belong to the senior squad, had there not been these two very important Under-21 matches."
