Marcus Rashford and Daniel Sturridge have been named in England's Euro 2016 squad with Danny Drinkwater and Andros Townsend missing out.
England boss Roy Hodgson has opted for five strikers in his 23-man party for the tournament in France after Manchester United's Rashford, 18, made an immediate impact by scoring on his international debut against Australia last Friday.
There had been speculation that Liverpool striker Sturridge, who has been hampered by injury problems this season, could miss out as a result, but Leicester midfielder Drinkwater and Newcastle winger Townsend have been omitted instead.
Having already picked only seven defenders, that meant Hodgson had to cull his midfield options, but he has named both Jordan Henderson and Jack Wilshere, who have been regaining their fitness levels following recent injuries.
