Newcastle United are growing quite the stable of England internationals after years of being under-represented.
For years there were no Newcastle United players regularly turning out for England and now we have several players in the first team and a smattering of players in the youth set-up too.
Tino Livramento is currently straddling the senior squad and the U21s under Lee Carsley who called up the former Southampton man for his first squad and left him out of the subsequent two, but in both cases ended up calling him up from the U21s to the senior squad due to injuries.
This time around, Carsley has had to call up eight players into his squad following the initial announcement with a few of those, including Tino LIvramento being pulled from the Under 21s.
The knock-on effect of that is now Lewis Miley has been drafted into the U21s from the U20s.
This is the 18-year-old's first time in the U21 squad as the Young Lions gear up to face Spain and Netherlands this month.
Hopefully Miley will be given a chance to show what he can do despite being an afterthought, although that's not been the case for Tino Livramento who is still waiting to make his senior England debut.
Left-back Lewis Hall is also hoping to make his debut this month as England take on Northern Ireland and Greece in the Nations League.
Imagine the side-eye Hall will get if he gets to play and Tino has to ride the bench yet again.
Anthony Gordon is likely to feature for England too while Nick Pope missed out on the call-up this time, even after Carsley had to bring in another goalkeeper to replace Aaron Ramsdale with Newcastle target James Trafford preferred to Pope.
