Wolves' Dominic Iorfa trains with England

Wolves defender Dominic Iorfa was called up to train with the senior England side alongside the likes of Wayne Rooney and Raheem Sterling.

England are currently preparing at St George's Park in Staffordshire ahead of their Euro 2016 qualifier with San Marino.

They will train at the National Football Centre near Burton until tomorrow, when they fly to Italy and then on to Serravalle ahead of Saturday's fixture.

Iorfa trained alongside senior England defenders John Stones, Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka after being plucked out of the under-21 training set up by national team boss Roy Hodgson yesterday.

The Wolves youngster said last week how he had been surprised by his early progression through England's junior ranks.

He said: "My ambition at international level was to break into the under-21 squad this season, but I didn't know it would be this early. Obviously, there is a big turnover of players because some are now too old for this age group and we have just come out of the European Championships in the summer.

"I watched all the games from the Czech Republic in the summer, when Carl Jenkinson played at right-back. I was delighted to receive a text from the FA telling me I was in this squad.

"I met Gareth Southgate at a training camp at St George's over the summer and hope, as a highly-respected former defender, he can help me further my game."
