Former Luton defender James Justin was called up to train with the England senior squad this week.

The Leicester City full back had been named in the U21s squad, but joined in Tuesday's session for Gareth Southgate's side along with Spurs youngster Ryan Sessegnon.

Justin, who left Town for the Foxes last summer in a club record move, played 18 times in all competitions for Brendan Rodgers side in his debut campaign at the King Power Stadium, including 13 top flight appearances.

He was looking to add to his five U21s caps when the Three Lions travel to the Pristina City Stadium to tackle Kosovo this evening and then head to Keine Sorgen Arena where they will face Austria on Tuesday.
