SCOTT Carson and Darren Ambrose were both called up to the England under-21s on Friday for their European Championship qualifier against Switzerland on September 6.

If he plays Carson would win his 21st cap three days after his 21st birthday.

The absence of Darren Bent from Peter Taylor's 24-man squad suggests the striker will be included in Steve McClaren's senior party for European Championship qualification fixtures against Andorra and Macedonia.
