Everton forward Anthony Gordon's terrific form over the past month has been rewarded with a first call-up to England's Under-21 squad for a pair of matches this month.
Gordon started his first Premier League game this term in the draw at Manchester United last month and also played from the beginning against Watford a fortnight ago.
The Academy graduate came off the bench in the meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday and was denied his first Everton goal only by a sprawling save from Wolves keeper Jose Sa.

England Under-21 manager Lee Carsley, the former Everton midfielder, has included Gordon in a 22-man squad for games against Czech Republic and Georgia.
Gordon played under Carsley in an England Under-20 fixture in October last year and has represented his country at Under-18 and Under-19 level.
England host Czech Republic in a European Championship qualifying fixture at Burnley's Turf Moor home on Thursday 11 November, kicking off at 7pm (GMT).
Carsley's side travel to Georgia for a friendly match on Tuesday 16 November that starts at 4pm (GMT).
Elijah Campbell, meanwhile, is selected in an England Under-18 squad that will participate in the four-nation Pinatar Tournament in Spain.
Defender Campbell, 17, joined Everton aged 13 and was instrumental in a run to last season's FA Youth Cup quarter-finals, which featured victories over the big-hitting pair of Chelsea and Manchester City.
He has started seven Premier League 2 matches for David Unsworth's Everton Under-23s this term and was on target in the 4-2 victory over Leeds United last month.

All three matches get under way at 5.30pm (GMT).
