Manchester City defender Nico O'Reilly has received his first call-up to the England squad following the withdrawal of Reece James.
Right-back James picked up an injury playing for Chelsea in their Premier League win against Liverpool on Saturday.
He posted a picture on Instagram of a gash on his shin following the game and has been ruled out "following medical assessments".
O'Reilly steps up from England Under-21s for the games against Wales on Thursday, 9 October and Latvia on Tuesday, 14 October.
The 20-year-old predominantly plays left-back for City, leaving Djed Spence as the only recognised right-back in England boss Thomas Tuchel's squad.
O'Reilly, who has been with City since he was eight, made 21 appearances and scored five goals for the Manchester club last season as he broke into their first team.
He was part of manager Pep Guardiola's squad at the Club World Cup in the summer and has made nine outings for City this season.
