LONDON (AP) — Manchester City’s Nico O’Reilly received his first call-up by England’s senior squad on Monday as an injury replacement for Reece James.

James was hurt playing for Chelsea in its 2-1 win over Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday, England said, and has been withdrawn from the squad after a medical assessment.

The 20-year-old O’Reilly, a midfielder who has been filling in at left back for City this season, takes the place of James and moves up from the Under-21 squad.
