Carsley names England u-21 squad for European Championship | OneFootball

Lee Carsley has named his 23-man England squad for this summer’s u-21 European Championship.

The head coach has cut down his provisional squad to finalise his options for the tournament, which begins next week. The Young Lions face the Czech Republic in their opening fixture on June 12th.

There’s no place for Liam Delap, who will instead join up with Chelsea at the FIFA Club World Cup. Delap is a new signing at Chelsea, having arrived from relegated Ipswich Town for a £30m fee. Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton is also absent after withdrawing through injury.

Arsenal teenager Ethan Nwaneri is involved, while there’s a place for Newcastle full-back Tino Livramento. The latter made his senior England debut during March’s international break.

Holders England face the Czech Republic, Germany and Slovenia during the group stage.
