Noel Blake has picked his squad for next month's game with Finland in Telford as he continues the preparation for next year's Euro Elite Qualifying Round.

The Young Lions recently progressed through their first qualifying stage towards the Finals in Lithuania next summer and are now awaiting the draw for the Elite Round in early December.

But Head Coach Blake is already assessing his options, with the final U19s match of the year taking place at the New Bucks Head Stadium in just over two weeks.

A number of the group who travelled to Estonia for the qualifiers in September are included again, but there are also first-time U19 calls for one-time U17 goalkeer Ben Garratt and Portsmouth defender Adam Webster, who impressed for the U18s against Italy last week.

Reading forward Dominic Samuel is also back in the squad, after first debuting for the U19s over a year ago in the Limoges Tournament in September 2011.
