Taylor Harwood-Bellis earns first senior call-up to England national team

Taylor Harwood-Bellis has received his first senior call-up to the England national team after impressing as captain of the Under-21s. The 22-year-old defender, now a regular at Southampton, was selected due to his strong performances and injuries to other players. Harwood-Bellis expressed pride in representing his country and noted the support from familiar teammates who also played in last summer's European Championship. He acknowledged the challenge of competing for a spot in the senior squad but is motivated to prove himself. England faces Greece and the Republic of Ireland in crucial Nations League matches. Harwood-Bellis aims to make his debut in these games, as the team seeks to secure automatic promotion back to the top tier.
