Due to the withdrawal of Bolton midfielder Mark Davies, Liverpool youngster Jay Spearing has been added to England's provisional Under-21 European Championship squad, joining Andy Carroll on the roster.
Spearing has made 13 appearances this season after making his Liverpool debut in 2008-09. He is 22 years old, but can play for the squad because he was under 21 when qualification began.
