Cleverley in for Mason

05 June 2015 16:47

Tom Cleverley has been called up to the England squad after Tottenham midfielder Ryan Mason withdrew because of a knee injury.

Mason suffered the injury in training after joining up with the England squad at St George's Park this week.

He has gone back to Spurs for treatment and will therefore miss the upcoming double-header against the Republic of Ireland and Slovenia.

Cleverley, a free agent, has been called up as a replacement.

The 25-year-old, who was on loan at Aston Villa last season, has not played for his country since November 2013.
