Woodman, 20, was called up to the England Under-21 squad last week, with Aidy Boothroyd’s side set to face Holland and Latvia in the European Under-21 Championships first qualifying round.
But on Tuesday, with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford having pulled out of Gareth Southgate’s squad with an injury, Woodman – a World Cup winner with England Under-20s in June – was brought into the senior side for their training session, where he worked alongside fellow goalkeepers Joe Hart, Jack Butland and Tom Heaton.
The highly-rated stopper, who won the Golden Glove award at this summer’s Under-20 World Cup as Paul Simpson’s youngsters triumphed in South Korea, will be hoping to earn his second cap at under-21 level when the Young Lions take on Holland on Friday night.
They follow that up with a home game against Latvia on Tuesday, 5th September at Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium. Woodman will compete with Angus Gunn and Dean Henderson for a place in Boothroyd’s team as he bids to add to his solitary appearance for the under-21s, which came against Kazakhstan last year.
