Stearman won promotion to the Premier League with Wolves
Tottenham midfielder Danny Rose and Wolves defender Richard Stearman have been called into the England Under-21 squad for the European Championships.
Injuries to Newcastle defender Steven Taylor and Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck have forced coach Stuart Pearce into making the late changes.
Pearce's team face Azerbaijan in a friendly next Monday before flying to Sweden for the tournament.
England will face Finland in their opening Euro match on 15 June.
Theo Walcott has been named in the squad, despite the fears of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
I've every confidence in this squad. We're looking forward to competing with the best
Stuart Pearce
Walcott, 20, who is also in the senior squad for World Cup qualifiers, could suffer burnout, Wenger has warned.
He says the winger will only have one week's rest before pre-season begins if England win the Under-21 tournament.
Walcott was out for four months this season after injuring himself on international duty last year.
His inclusion in the 23-man squad for the competition in Sweden is seen as a victory for Pearce, who has pushed for the inclusion of players eligible for the senior squad.
Earlier this week Wenger said Walcott should not play for both the seniors and Under-21s this summer.
"I have let the Football Association know that he shouldn't play in both national teams during the holiday period," said the Arsenal boss.
"The basic problem, is can you use a player for two different national teams during the holiday period?"
Walcott injured his shoulder in a training session before England's friendly win over Germany last November and was out for four months, much to the anger of Wenger.
The winger had scored a hat-trick for the senior side in a World Cup qualifier in Croatia two months earlier.
The Under-21 squad includes Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor and Manchester City defender Micah Richards, who have also featured in the senior team.
Pearce said: "I have every confidence in this squad. We are really looking forward to competing with the best under-21 teams in Europe, and hopefully, doing our country proud with our performances. It should be a fantastic tournament."

Joe Hart (Manchester City), Joe Lewis (Peterborough), Scott Loach (Watford);
