Four months after getting picked for the World Cup and forcing Ashley Cole in to international retirement, Luke Shaw is back with the U21s.
He's struggled for fitness lately, only making his Man Utd debut last weekend, and with the game against Croatia being a play-off for the European U21 Championship, Gareth Southgate was expected to name a strong squad.
Still a bit of a shocker though.
Calum Chambers also drops down after making his senior debut against Norway last month and Saido Berahino, tipped for a senior call-up in some quarters after a decent start to the season, is also included.
The squad in full:
Goalkeepers: Jonathan Bond (Watford), Jack Butland (Stoke City), Sam Johnstone (Manchester United).
Defenders: Calum Chambers (Arsenal), Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Luke Garbutt (Everton), Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough), Carl Jenkinson (West Ham United, on loan from Arsenal), Michael Keane (Burnley, on loan from Manchester United), Jamaal Lascelles (Nottingham Forest, on loan from Newcastle United), Liam Moore (Leicester City), Luke Shaw (Manchester United).
Midfielders: Lewis Baker (Chelsea), Tom Carroll (Swansea City, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur), Jake Forster-Caskey (Brighton & Hove Albion), Will Hughes (Derby County), Thomas Ince (Hull City), Alex Pritchard (Brentford, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur), Nathan Redmond (Norwich City).
Forwards: Patrick Bamford (Middlesbrough, on loan from Chelsea), Saido Berahino (West Bromwich Albion), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Cauley Woodrow (Fulham).
