England MU20s squad named for Pinatar trip

England men's under-20s will kick-start the new season in September with three games in Spain against Chile, Morocco and Australia.

The Young Lions are preparing for the FIFA U20 World Cup in Indonesia next summer, after sealing qualification for that tournament during last season’s MU19s campaign.

And after leading the Young Lions to the U19 EURO title last season, Ian Foster will take charge of this age group again as they progress into MU20s football.

Foster has picked a 23-strong squad for the trip to Pinatar, with the majority of those players involved in July’s U19 EURO win all involved again.

England will take on Chile in their first game on Wednesday 21 September (7pm BST), before facing Morocco on Saturday 24 September (5pm BST) and then rounding the trip off against Australia on Tuesday 27 September (4pm BST).
