Leeds teenager Fabian Delph has been called into Stuart Pearce's provisional England Under-21s squad for next month's European Championships. The 19-year-old is named in an initial 40-man squad that will be reduced to 23 players before the tournament starts in Sweden on June 15. Delph made his first-team breakthrough at Elland Road this season after making his Leeds debut a day after his 16th birthday in the last match of the 2006/7 campaign at Derby, which ended in a 2-0 defeat. The Bradford-born midfielder made his England Under-21s debut in a 2-0 win over the Czech Republic at Bramall Lane in November.
