- England U19s Head Coach Noel Blake has named an 18-man squad for the Elite Qualifying Round games in Ukraine next month, as the Young Lions look to reach the European Championship Finals for the third successive year.
- The Young Lions know that they must top a four team group including current champions Ukraine, Republic Of Ireland and Bosnia-Herzegovina in May if they are to achieve their target and secure a place in the last eight, so Blake has called upon an experienced squad, all of which have featured for the U19s over the course of this season.
- There are five players in the squad who were involved at last summer's Finals, also held in Ukraine, including the competition's Golden Boot winner Nathan Delfouneso.
- Declan Rudd, Matthew James, Andros Townsend and Matthew Briggs were also part of the group which reached the Final in Donetsk, only to miss out on the title against Ukraine.
- England open up the Elite Round when they take on Ireland at the Obolon Arena in Kiev on Wednesday 26 May, before facing Bosnia at the same venue two days later.
- They will then face the hosts at the Valeriy Lobanovskiyy Stadium in Kiev on 31 May, with the overall winners of the group going on to feature in the Finals in France in July." Football Association
