Harry Kane will represent England in the Under-21s this summer in the Czech Republic.

"Roy (Hodgson) and I know that the seniors are in a good group position and he feels that the experience of going to the Czech Republic in the summer will be more beneficial to Harry than the two games he has got," U-21 manager Gareth Southgate told reporters.

"That is absolutely the case regardless of his displays between now and then.

"We are not short of good players in the seniors but, understandably, for Harry to be there this time, against Lithuania, was merited.

"We still feel we can give the players the best possible preparation to go into the seniors and achieve success if they have got the experience of the European Under-21s Championship behind them. That is still the case with Harry."
