James Hill has played for England Under-20s and U21s

Bournemouth defender James Hill has been called up to the England squad for the first time.

The 24-year-old centre-back has been added to Thomas Tuchel's squad after Arsenal's Ezri Konsa was ruled out of Thursday's Nations League match against Croatia at Wembley.

Konsa was substituted after sustaining a knee injury in the Champions League win at Slavia Prague on Wednesday, but played all 90 minutes of the win over Hull on Saturday.

He will return to full training this week, before England's game against Spain in Madrid on Sunday.

On Sunday Dan Burn replaced centre-back Marc Guehi, who withdrew with a hip injury.

Hill has played every minute of Bournemouth's Premier League season and has featured in every game of their inaugural Europa League campaign.

He joined Bournemouth from Fleetwood for an undisclosed fee in January 2022.

Having made only 24 appearances in his first three and a half years with the club, Hill became a regular last season as Bournemouth achieved their highest top-flight finish of sixth.

Bournemouth, who are on an eight-match winning run in all competitions, are seventh in the Premier League.
