Bournemouth defender James Hill has received his maiden call-up to the England senior squad following the withdrawal of Ezri Konsa. The 22-year-old centre-back has been drafted into the national team setup as a replacement for the Aston Villa player, who has been ruled out through injury.
Hill, who joined Bournemouth from Fleetwood Town in January 2022, has established himself as a regular in the Cherries' backline this season. His consistent performances in the Premier League have caught the attention of the England coaching staff, leading to this first senior international recognition.
The call-up comes ahead of England's upcoming fixtures, providing Hill with an opportunity to stake a claim for a place in the squad on a more permanent basis. The young defender will join the national team camp immediately to begin preparations with his new teammates.
