Albion defender Tariq Lamptey has been named in the England Under-21 squad for two games later this month.

The 20-year-old, who made his debut at this level against Austria in September, is in the squad to face Andorra and Albania in European Championship qualifiers.

England have already qualified for next year’s finals as winners from Group 3.

They play Andorra at Molineux on Friday November 13, kick off 7.30pm and Albania at the same venue four days later (7.25pm).

In addition, three Albion youngsters will be involved in England training camps at St George’s Park next week.

Goalkeeper Carl Rushworth will be with the under-20s and midfield pair Teddy Jenks and Jensen Weir with England’s under-19s. Haydon Roberts, who is currently on loan with League One Rochdale, is on stand-by for the under-19s camp.
