Barnes has been excellent while on loan at West Bromwich Albion this season, scoring four goals for the Baggies, including a brilliant, late solo effort against Sheffield Wednesday in midweek.

The 20-year-old midfielder has previously represented England at Under-18s and Under-20s level, finishing as top scorer at the Toulon Tournament in 2017.

Ben Chilwell became the 20th player to represent England while at the Club after his appearance against Switzerland in 2018.

Barnes joins fellow Academy graduate Ben Chilwell in Aidy Boothroyd’s squad for the U21 European Championship fixtures against Andorra and Scotland.

Chilwell made his senior Three Lions debut in Leicester last month, when King Power Stadium hosted England’s 1-1 draw with Switzerland.
