'KEEPER Scott Loach will be waiting anxiously by his phone tomorrow as he awaits a call to tell him he's in England's final U21 squad for the summer.

U21 boss Stuart Pearce has whittled the young ones down to 27 from 40 and Loach is included in the provisional shortlist.

The 20-year-old has returned from a long weekend of training with the England U21 team today (Tuesday) and he will find out for definite tomorrow whether he will be boarding the plane to Sweden as part of the 23-strong squad.

Loach has been called up twice by Pearce as a substitute and is hoping to further his international experiences even more this summer in preparation for Watford's new season.

Ex-Hornet loanee Jack Cork will also have his fingers crossed for the call, along with fellow Chelsea player Liam Bridcutt who Brendan Rodgers brought in on loan from The Blues at the start of the year.

England play Azerbaijan at Stadium MK before flying to Sweden for the UEFA European U21 Championship.
