Callum Hudson-Odoi ceased his chance with England
Hudson-Odoi has been frustrated by his lack of regular game-time at Stamford Bridge this season, but was ready to cease his chance in an England shirt.
The youngster – who is yet to start a league game for the Blues but has flourished in the Europa League with four goals and two assists – even helped wrap things against the Czechs, with his shot leading to an own-goal to make it 5-0 at Wembley.
But where does he rank in the Three Lions’ youngest post-war debutants? talkSPORT had a look…
5. Callum Hudson-Odoi
Debut: March 22, 2019 vs the Czech Republic
Age: 18 years, 136 days
Caps: 1

Many more caps are likely to follow for Callum Hudson-Odoi
Hudson-Odoi was originally called up to England’s Under-21s side for this month’s international games, but injuries to senior stars saw Gareth Southgate promote the Londoner to his squad.
The 18-year-old replaced Raheem Sterling in the 70th minute of England’s 5-0 win against the Czech Republic in their opening Euro 2020 qualifier. He looked bright on the left wing and played a part in the final goal six minutes from time. His shot was saved by goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka and rebounded off Chelsea team-mate Tomas Kalas and into the net.
He could be a future star for England.
4. Michael Owen
Debut: 11 February 1998 vs Chile
Age: 18 years, 59 days
Caps: 89

Michael Owen burst on to the international scene in 1998
Owen played the full 90 minutes in a 2-0 friendly defeat to Chile at Wembley to mark the start of a long England career.
The 39-year-old is England’s fifth all-time top scorer with 40 goals. He became England’s youngest ever player to appear and score at a World Cup after coming on as a substitute against Tunisia in 1998. He then came off the bench in the following match to net England’s equaliser in a 2-1 defeat to Romania.
Owen won the Ballon d’Or in 2001 for his prolific performances with Liverpool and England – he remains the only Englishman to bag the award, which honours the best footballer over a calendar year.
3. Raheem Sterling
Debut: 14 November 2012 vs Sweden
Age: 17 years, 342 days
Caps: 48

It was an England debut to forget for Raheem Sterling
Sterling played 84 minutes as an experimental England side lost 4-2 to Sweden when Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s four goals condemned Roy Hodgson’s men to a first defeat of the calendar year. Steven Caulker, Leon Osman, Ryan Shawcross, Carl Jenkinson and Wilfried Zaha also made their Three Lions debuts in Stockholm.
Despite being just 24, the Manchester City star is one of the most senior players in the current England camp.
2. Wayne Rooney
Debut: 12 February 2003 vs Australia
Age: 17 years, 111 days
Caps: 120

Wayne Rooney during his England debut
Rooney was a 52nd-minute substitute in England’s friendly defeat to Australia. He is England’s most-capped outfield player and is just five short of legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton. Along with that accolade, the 33-year-old is the Three Lions’ all-time top scorer with 53 goals.
At the third attempt, he scored his first ever World Cup goal against Uruguay in the 2014 finals.
1. Theo Walcott
Debut: 30 May 2006 vs Hungary
Age: 17 years, 75 days
Caps: 47

Theo Walcott made his England debut after coming on for Michael Owen
Sven-Goran Eriksson shocked the country by naming a 17-year-old Walcott in his 2006 World Cup squad. The winger even made his England bow before debuting for Arsenal. He was a 65th-minute substitute in England’s 3-1 win over Hungary, but watched the World Cup from the bench as the Three Lions were knocked out by Portugal on penalties in the quarter-finals.
His most memorable moment in an England shirt came when he bagged a hat-trick against Croatia in a World Cup qualifier in 2008.
