John Peacock has named his England U17 squad as this season's batch of Young Lions take their first step into tournament action with Euro Championship qualifiers in Estonia later this month.

England face familiar opponents in Tallinn too, with fellow home nations Wales and Northern Ireland in the same group alongside hosts Estonia, who Peacock's side will face first on 21 October.

Peacock has named an 18-man squad for the trip, all of whom have featured at U17 or U16 level in the past and will now be looking to help England progress towards next May's Euro Finals in Slovakia.

There are three players included from the U16 age group with Newcastle goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, Aston Villa midfielder Dan Crowley and Liverpool winger Seyi Ojo all hoping to make an impression in the year above their natural level whilst many of the squad featured in the St. George's Park International Tournament in August.

The group meet at St. George's Park on 16 October for three days of preparation on home soil before travelling to Tallinn for the start of the fixtures.
