West Brom's Saido Berahino wins England Under-21 call-up from Roy Hodgson
West Brom striker Saido Berahino today received his first call-up for England Under-21s – from former Baggies boss Roy Hodgson.
The England coach is taking charge of the under-21 side for Tuesday's meeting with Scotland at Bramall Lane while the FA seek a replacement for the sacked Stuart Pearce.
And Hodgson has handed Burundi-born hitman Berahino his first chance at under-21 level.
The 20-year-old has played regularly for England youth sides and has been a regular member of first-team squads during the current pre-season campaign.
He made his competitive Baggies debut against Yeovil in the Capital One Cup last season.
