England manager Roy Hodgson has selected Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford and Newcastle United winger Andros Townsend in his 26-man provisional squad for Euro 2016.
Rashford only made his senior debut in the Premier League in February, but has scored seven goals since then, and has been handed a spot in the Three Lions squad for tournament preparations.
Townsend has also been included as part of the 11-man midfield pack, while Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, who did not complete a full 90 minutes throughout the entire season due to a broken leg, has been selected.
Manchester City's Fabian Delph has earned a spot in the squad, alongside Leicester City's title-winning midfielder Danny Drinkwater, who made his senior debut for England in March.
A handful of senior figures, including Michael Carrick and Leighton Baines, have been left out of the setup, while Theo Walcott has also been snubbed after struggling to hold down a regular place in Arsenal's team this season.
Everton captain Phil Jagielka has been omitted as Hodgson has opted for three centre-halves in Chris Smalling, John Stones and Gary Cahill.
With regards to attacking threat, Hodgson has selected five forwards - Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, Jamie Vardy and Rashford.
The squad will be trimmed to 23 players before the start of the tournament, with a striker and two midfielders expected to be dropped.
