There’s players 23 years of age.
I could understand the f you’d turned 21 but surely 23 makes you too old.

It's within the rules and it's very logical to call up players who are soon to be too old for the U21s and give them a taste of tournament football before they potentially join the senior side. England used to call up its brightest youngsters just to sit on the bench, but there's more coordination between the age groups now. Jones and Gibbs-White would possibly have been in the full England squad but rightly, they've left them to the U21 tournament rather than given them 5 minutes against Moldova.
