Sammy Ameobi has been drafted into Stuart Pearce's England under-21s squad for the European Championship qualification double-header against Iceland and Belgium.

Former Magpies defender Pearce named his 25-man squad for the games last week, but after seeing three players drop out through injury he has moved to bring in replacements. And one of them is 19-year-old Ameobi, a Newcastle-born product of the club's Academy, who has previously represented Nigeria at youth level.
