England have promoted Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell to the senior squad to face Croatia and Spain in the Nations League after the withdrawal of left-back Luke Shaw due to injury.

Chilwell, who won his first cap in last month's friendly win over Switzerland, had been included in the Under-21 squad.

Shaw reported on Monday with the rest of Gareth Southgate’s squad but has now returned to Manchester United for treatment.
