The defender, who signed a new five-year deal with the club on Wednesday, has been called up for the second successive time under manager Gareth Southgate.

Coady had an impressive debut against Denmark last month and has been watched by Southgate and his staff during the current Premier League season.

The 27-year-old will now aim to build on his one cap when the England squad meet up next week to prepare for a friendly clash with Wales and Nations League games with Belgium and Denmark.

Coady will be joined in the squad by Aston Villa duo Jack Grealish and Tyrone Mings.

Grealish was called up for the first time last month when a handful of players withdrew with injury.

Now, the Villa captain has been named among the 30-man squad from the start – alongside Mings who has now been involved for some time.

Former West Brom loanee Harvey Barnes has been called up for the first time after impressive displays for Leicester City.
