John Peacock has selected a 20 man squad for the trip to Portugal later this month to contest the annual Alrgave Tournament, where the Young Lions will face matches against the host nation, Germany and Romania over the space of three days.
With the UEFA Championship Elite Qualifying Round coming up in March for the U17s, this competition always allows Peacock and his staff to assess their options over the three games in a tournament format.
After winning the Algarve Tournament last season when the U17s beat Ukraine and drew with France and Portugal to claim the title, Peacock will be hoping that this year's competition bears a similar result and, more importantly, helps to prepare his charges for the rigours ahead.
England open up with a game against Romania on Thursday 24 February, before facing Germany a day later. The competition is then finished off with a match against Portugal in Lagos on Sunday 27 February.
Whilst many of the players have featured for England at U16 or U17 level previously, there is one new face in the squad, in the shape of Liverpool midfielder Jack Dunn.
