England's Under-21 football team manager Aidy Boothroyd has announced the 23-member squad for the upcoming Euro Cup in Italy and San Marino.

Phil Foden, James Maddison, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have all been named in England's team.

"The class of 2019 will be hoping to go one step further this time and with the bulk of the group having previously tasted international success with the U20s, U19s and U17s in recent seasons, England head to the finals with confidence," the Football Association of England said in an official statement.

"A number of the squad have already been in training at St George's Park since the end of their club campaigns, and more will arrive to continue preparations this week before the group head to Italy on Friday, June 14," it added.

All the players in final England squad have had plenty of Premier League experience and this orders well for the England team.
