Young Lions squad picked for game with Spain in February.
England U16s Head Coach Kenny Swain has named an 18-man squad for next month's international match with Spain at Las Rozas in Madrid.
Following their success in the Victory Shield in the first half of this season, the Young Lions now face a further test away from home soil.
With this group of players going into an U17 Championship year next season, Swain and his assistant Noel Blake see this three-day trip as another crucial experience in their international development before they take part in the Montaigu Tournament in France this April.
The majority of the players involved for this game took part in the Victory Shield, but there are some new faces with Middlesbrough's Bradley Fewster, Everton's George Green and West Brom's Callum Jones all coming into the squad for the first time.
