England MU21s squad named for Moldova and Andorra games

Lee Carsley has named his squad to face Moldova and Andorra during the October international camp.

England men’s under-21s will pick up where they left off in their UEFA U21 EURO qualifying campaign this month.

The Young Lions beat Kazakhstan last time out in September to kick off their bid to reach the 2027 European Championships. A 2-0 victory – courtesy of goals from Ethan Nwaneri and Jobe Bellingham, who both make Carsley’s squad once again – got England up and running in 2025-26.

This month, England come up against Moldova on Friday 10 October (5pm BST kick-off) at Stadionul Zimbru.

Carsley’s team are then back on home soil for the first time since winning the EUROs in the summer to lock horns with Andorra at Derby County’s Pride Park Stadium on Monday 13 October (7.45pm BST kick-off).
