Roy Hodgson has named a 25-man England Under-21 squad for next week’s match against Scotland and Sammy Ameobi is included.
Shola the Mackem Slayer is capped for Nigeria, and they could be capped for countries on different continents.
The England Manager is taking charge for the game on Tuesday, before a new head coach is appointed for the start of the Euro qualifying campaign next month.
The under-21 fixture takes place 24 hours before his senior team also face the ‘Auld Enemy’ at Wembley.
There are eight players who receive their first Under-21 call-up, along with eight players who featured in the Euro Championship Finals in Israel last summer.
