Young Manchester City goalkeeper Angus Gunn has received an unexpected call to join up with the England squad after Jack Butland was ruled out for six weeks with a broken finger.

The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Norwich City and now links up with current goalkeepers Joe Hart and Jordan Pickford ahead of next week's friendly fixture against Brazil, according to Norwich City's Official Website.

Having kept seven clean sheets for the Canaries this season and performed admirably for the England u21s in recent years, the call-up seems to make perfect sense and sees boss Gareth Southgate stick to his guns when it comes to rewarding talented youngsters.

It seems unlikely that the City youngster will feature in the game with Brazil but nonetheless the experience of being called up will be massive for the youngster.

Twitter has naturally been reacting and here are a selection of the best tweets in response to Gunn's England inclusion.
