Posted by goonerlad on August 10th, 2009

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been called into the England Under-21 squad for the friendly against Holland in Groningen on Tuesday.

The 17-year-old has been promoted from the Under-20s by coach Stuart Pearce following an injury to Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba.

Wilshere has been tipped to have a chance of making the senior squad for the World Cup next year, with boss Fabio Capello looking to monitor his progress this season.
