Kane named in England Under-21 squad but Shaw misses out

Despite Mauricio Pochettino's concerns over a lack of rest, the striker will travel to the Czech Republic but the Manchester United full-back has failed to make the cut.Harry Kane has been named in Gareth Southgate's England Under-21 squad for this summer's European Championship - but there is no place for Manchester United's Luke Shaw.The striker, who became the first player to score 30 goals for Tottenham in a single season since 1991-92, made his senior debut in March and is accompained by fellow Spurs players Eric Dier, Tom Carroll and Alex Pritchard.While speaking to the media, Southgate confirmed he spoke to United manager Louis van Gaal about Shaw's inclusion but felt the defender would not be fit enough to compete during June.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino has voiced concerns over a lack of a rest for Kane during the close-season, suggesting participation in the tournament could delay his return to domestic competition.He said: Harry is not tired, but if you play a lot of games in the Premier League and the Europa League over a season, you expend a lot of energy. It's not about tiredness, it is about next season.Meanwhile, Van Gaal insisted that Shaw must not be picked: "When he is not playing for United he cannot play for other teams. He needs to rest ... he's 19 years old, what do you expect? We have to protect him.Elsewhere, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, fresh from making his Premier League debut earlier in May, did not feature during qualification but joins Chelsea team-mates Nathaniel Chalobah and Patrick Bamford after being promoted from the Under-19 side.England Under-21 squad in full:Goalkeepers: Marcus Bettinelli (Fulham), Jonathan Bond (Watford), Jack Butland (Stoke City).Defenders: Calum Chambers (Arsenal), Eric Dier (Tottenham), Luke Garbutt (Everton), Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough), Carl Jenkinson (Arsenal, loan to West Ham), Michael Keane (Burnley), Liam Moore (Leicester City), John Stones (Everton), Matt Targett (Southampton)Midfielders: Tom Carroll (Tottenham, loan to Swansea City), Nathaniel Chalobah (Chelsea), Will Hughes (Derby), Jake Forster-Caskey (Brighton), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea), Alex Pritchard (Tottenham), Nathan Redmond (Norwich City), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton).Forwards: Benik Afobe (Wolves), Patrick Bamford (Chelsea, loan to Middlesbrough), Saido Berahino (West Brom), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Danny Ings (Burnley), Cauley Woodrow (Fulham).
