At 11am this Tuesday, at the Estadio Antonio Barbadillo in Cádiz, England U18s round off their three-match friendly series with a clash against Canada. The Young Lions began the camp with a 3–1 victory over Uzbekistan, before following it up with a 4–1 win against Morocco.
England line-up against Canada :
Liam Bramley has called up a hugely promising 23-man squad, made up almost entirely of last year’s U17s. The one new face is Tottenham forward Tynan Thompson, who earns his first involvement at this level. Among the more established names is Leicester midfielder Louis Page, who has recently broken into the Foxes’ senior side, coming off the bench in their last two games and even registering an assist at the weekend.
Initially named in the squad, highly-rated Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha has since been promoted to the U19s to cover for an injury and is therefore unavailable to Bramley. That leaves Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez as the only player in the squad based abroad – the Lyon forward enjoyed an outstanding year with England U17s last season, scoring nine goals in ten appearances.
England’s starting XI to face Canada :
- Dylan Moody (Southampton FC)
- Freddie Simmonds (Brighton and Hove Albion)
- Jun’ai Byfield(Tottenham Hotspur)
- Landon Emenalo (Chelsea FC)
- Bradley Burrowes (Aston Villa)
- Reggie Walsh (Chelsea FC)
- Harrison Miles (Manchester City)
- Luca Williams Barnett (Tottenham Hotspur)
- Tynan Thompson (Tottenham Hotspur)
- Harry Howell (Brighton and Hove Albion)
- Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez (Olympique Lyonnais)
