Samuel Iling Jr has been named in England’s final squad for this summer’s UEFA Under-21 European Championship.
The Aston Villa forward, who spent last season on loan at Bologna and then Middlesbrough, is included in the Young Lions’ final 23-man squad for the tournament in Slovakia, having initially been among the ranks for a preparation camp.
Lee Carsley's side will be looking to retain the European title having lifted the trophy in 2023.
England, competing in Group B, open their campaign against Czechia on Thursday, June 12 (ko 8pm) before taking on Slovenia three days later on Sunday, June 15 (ko 5pm).
Their final group game takes place on Wednesday, June 18 (ko 8pm) against Germany, before the competition heads into the knockout phase with the top two teams from all four groups progressing to the quarter-finals.
Congratulations, Samuel!
