Fraizer Campbell could make his England under-21 debut after Stuart Pearce selected him in the squad to play Poland at Molineux next week.
The striker, who is on-loan at Hull from Manchester United, has netted 13 times in the Championship this season and could be selected for the game after being named in Pearce's 20-man squad for the friendly fixture.
Pearce has also included Coventry City duo Scott Dann and Daniel Fox, as he looks for competition for places in the run up to the European Under-21 Championships in Portugal in September.
"It's a great opportunity for us in this friendly to have a look at some other players," said Pearce.
"I could easily put out a side that I wouldn't learn a great deal about, but I have a chance to use some new players and players who have been in the squad but have yet to have a great deal of pitch time," he explained.
"I want to be given a very difficult job of having to pick just 23 names from a pool of 35 or more players who have done well," he said.
Tom Huddlestone, Steven Taylor and Theo Walcott were the most notable absentees in the experimental squad.
