MIDDLESBROUGH pair Ben Gibson and Patrick Bamford have been included in Gareth Southgate's squad for England Under-21s.

Bamford, on loan from Chelsea, has earned a recall to Southgate's squad for the Euro 2015 play-offs against Croatia after his good form for Boro, while Gibson retains his place in the squad.

There is no call-up for Adam Reach, however, despite the winger's positive performances in a Boro shirt.

Southgate’s side take on the Croats in the first leg at Wolves’ Molineux home next Friday before travelling to Vinkovci for the second leg on Tuesday, October 14.
