Foden and Nelson retain their places in England Under-21 squad

Aidy Boothroyd's squad looks like an incredibly exciting one for all England fans, as the side look to head in to the European Championships next year with an eye on winning it.

Man City's Phil Foden may still be only 18, buut he has impressed enough in club clolours and in the previous round of U-21 fixtures, after scoring in the match against Scotland, to retain his place in the squad.

Reiss Nelson is a man who also impressed in the last round of fixtures, and has also been in fantastic form while on loan at German side Hoffenheim.

Also included are Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon, Chelsea's Tammy Abraham and Leicester's Demarai Gray.

'They're two very good games for us this month, after we secured our qualification in October," coach Aidy Boothroyd said on the FA's website.

"One of them is in Italy, where the Championship is taking place next summer and it will be a real test for us, but that's what we want.

"We can work on things that we might not necessarily have done in the qualifying games, which will help us towards competing against the best teams in Europe next summer.

"We're looking forward to both matches, after coming out of a tough group ourselves."
