Freddie Sears and Junior Stanislas have been drafted into Brian Eastick's England under 19s squad to face Croatia tomorrow night.
The young Hammers duo have been called up as late replacements for the game which takes place at Swindon's County Ground (kick off 7pm).Sears and Stanislas join James Tomkins, who was named as part of the initial squad on January 17th to complete a Hammers triumvirate.
18-year-old striker Sears scored again for West Ham United's under 18s on Saturday in the 2-0 win over Arsenal at London Colney, and receives his first call-up since making his debut for the under 19s in the 4-0 win against Belarus last September.
Wide man Stanislas - also 18 - is looking for his first start having been an unused substitute for England's 1-0 defeat against Germany in Elversberg last November, a game in which James Tomkins played the full 90 minutes.
Jordan Spence - who last appeared for the under 19s in the 3-1 win over Belgium last October - has not been named in the squad.
Tomorrow's game is a warm up for the forthcoming Euro Championship Elite Round qualifiers against Poland, Serbia and Belarus. The game marks the first ever meeting between England and Croatia at under 19 level.
