The England U21 coach Stuart Pearce has targeted Tuesday night's friendly against Germany as an opportunity for new faces to showcase their ability.

Pearce has named three debutants in the squad - with Chelsea's Josh McEachran, Swansea's Scott Sinclair and Manchester City's Ben Mee all called-up for the first-time.

"It's only a small squad but we want to make sure that everyone has the possibility of getting some game time," said Pearce.

"Fabio picking one or two to step up into the seniors might mean we'll be short of a few of those players, so it's given me an opportunity to look at some who are not playing regularly at their clubs and need to get some football with us.

"One or two who have played a lot for their clubs will also get a little break if they're not needed with the seniors."
