SWINDON Town loanee Kaine Kesler-Hayden has been included in England's U20 squad for the upcoming international window.
Kesler-Hayden - who joined Town on a season-long loan from Aston Villa - has played at U19 level for his country and could make his U20 debut against Romania at St George's Park on Monday, September 6.
The defender's inclusion means he will miss Swindon's EFL Trophy group game at home to Arsenal U21 on Tuesday, September 7.
The England U20s have not played an international match since October last year, when they beat Wales 2-0.
Following the appointment of Lee Carsley as the new England U21s boss, the U20s will be led by Andy Edwards, with former Charlton Athletic striker Jason Euell as his assistant and Danny Alcock as the goalkeeper coach.
With no UEFA or FIFA competitions for this age group, England's U20s will play a number of games against European opposition this season.
Following September’s match with Romania, the Young Lions will take on Italy at St. George’s Park on Thursday, October 7 before a trip to Czech Republic on Monday, October 11 and Portugal on Thursday, November 7.
