Former Chesterfield goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has been called up to the England squad for the Euros after Dean Henderson has been forced to withdraw due to injury.
Ramsdale had a loan spell at the Spireites in the 2017/18 season, making 19 appearances, as the club were relegated from League Two.
The 23-year-old, now of Sheffield United who signed him for £20m from Bournemouth last summer, will replace Henderson who has a hip problem.

“While I’m delighted to be joining back up with England my immediate thoughts are with Deano as I know how much it meant to him to be involved,” Ramsdale said.
“I have now been given the honour and to be involved in a major tournament is what dreams are made of. This is a special moment for me and my family.”
