England men’s under-17s head coach Greg Lincoln has selected his squad for their UEFA U17 EURO elite round qualifiers this week.
The Young Lions take on Hungary, Northern Ireland and France in their group knowing that a top two finish will secure a spot at May’s U17 EURO Finals in Cyprus.
Lincoln has named a 21-man squad for the games which will all be hosted at St. George’s Park, kicking off on Wednesday afternoon (3pm) when England face Northern Ireland in their opening match.
