Bournemouth defender James Hill has been called up to the England squad for the first time.

The 24-year-old centre-back has been added to Thomas Tuchel's squad after Arsenal's Ezri Konsa was ruled out of Thursday's Nations League match against Croatia at Wembley.

Konsa was substituted after sustaining a knee injury in the Champions League win at Slavia Prague on Wednesday, but played all 90 minutes of the win over Hull on Saturday.
