England U20, led by Ben Futcher, will take on Switzerland in a one-off friendly fixture at St. George’s Park during this international break. The match, kicking off at 1pm (UK time), provides a valuable opportunity for several players — some making their first appearance at this level, others returning after a long absence — to pull on the Three Lions shirt once again.
A promising squad named by Ben Futcher
Futcher has called up a highly promising 20-man squad, largely drawn from last season’s U19 group, though a number of players have already begun to make their mark in senior football. Among them is Jimmy-Jay Morgan, on loan from Chelsea at Peterborough United, who has hit fine form with three goals in five League One appearances. Another is Lewis Orford, currently on loan at Stevenage from West Ham — a technically gifted midfielder still striving to secure regular starts despite featuring briefly for the Hammers’ first team last year.
At the back, Harrison Murray-Campbell — who recently signed his first professional deal with Chelsea — looks set to be one of the key figures in defence. In midfield, Harrison McMahon (Chelsea) stands out as a consistent performer across youth levels, and his reliability could earn him a pivotal role during this camp.
Further forward, there are several attacking players to keep an eye on. Samuel Amo-Ameyaw of RC Strasbourg adds flair and directness from wide areas, while Shea Lacey — the highly rated Manchester United winger — returns to England youth duty after a two-year absence and will be eager to make an impression.
