Lennon played for the Under-21s before breaking into the senior squad ahead of the last World Cup, but was out of favour under former England boss Steve McClaren.

His recent form for Spurs had him tipped for a call-up for the seniors but he has been included in Pearce's squad for Tuesday's clash at St Mary's.

Pearce revealed that new England boss Fabio Capello is eager to have a closer look at Lennon.

"We need to see him play," he said. "I know Fabio is very interested in seeing him play.

"If players are at an age to play for the Under-21s they'll gain more experience playing than being in the seniors and not playing.

"He's only got two under-21 caps and he hasn't been a regular for the seniors."

England Under-21 squad to play the Republic of Ireland in a European Championship qualifier at Southampton's St Mary's Stadium on Tuesday, February 5:

Hart (Man City), Heaton (Man Utd), Lewis (Peterborough), Gardner (Villa), Mancienne (Chelsea), Mattock (Leicester), Onuoha (Man City), Shawcross (Stoke), Taylor (Newcastle), Wheater (Middlesbrough), Cattermole (Middlesbrough), Huddlestone (Tottenham), Johnson (Middlesbrough), Lennon (Tottenham), Milner (Newcastle), Muamba (Birmingham), Noble, (West Ham), O'Hara (Tottenham), Surman (Southampton), Jerome (Birmingham), Moore (Aston Villa), Vaughan (Everton), Walcott (Arsenal).
