Derby County forward Kwame Thomas has been called up to the England Under-20s squad to replace Jordon Ibe.

The Liverpool youngster has been forced to withdraw from the Young Lions party that will travel to the Toulon Tournament with a recurring knee injury.

Thomas, who made his senior debut in the Championship for the Rams this season, also made five appearances on loan at Notts County in League One.

He has won seven caps at U20s level for England, scoring twice.

The Young Lions will compete in Group B of the 43rd edition of the annual competition in the south of France, alongside China, Ivory Coast, Mexico and Morocco, who they face in their first game on Thursday 28 May.
