England U19s get their qualifying campaign for this season's European Championship underway early next month when they travel to Northern Ireland for the Qualifying Round.
Brian Eastick has named his squad for the game, which sees the Young Lions face Albania, Serbia and Northern Ireland in a bid to progress to the next stage which is the Elite Qualfying Round and will take place early next year.
The U19s got their season off to a winning start earlier this month, when two goals from Arsenal's Rhys Murphy saw them run out as 2-1 victors against the Netherlands in Shrewsbury.
Many of the players involved in that game are named in this squad, whilst there are call-ups for Chelsea midfielder Jacob Mellis and Aston Villa striker Nathan Delfouneso who now have the opportunity to make an impression.
West Ham's Jordan Spence and Manchester United's Danny Drinkwater also return to the squad after missing out on the previous game through injury.
The likes of Jason Steele, Krystian Pearce, Danny Rose and Victor Moses all had a taste of the U19 Championship in July, when they were included in the squad which competed in the finals in the Czech Republic.
