Fairclough names squad for Slovakia and Hungary

Monday 12 May 2014
Fairclough has selected an 18 man squad for the trip to Slovakia

England C manager Paul Fairclough has named an 18-man squad for the forthcoming International Challenge Trophy Group A match with Slovakia in Poprad.

The Three Lions travel to Slovakia for the tie on Saturday 24 May, before moving across the border for a friendly with Hungary at the Szusza Ferenc Stadium in Budapest four days later.

And Fairclough is keen to get his ICT campaign off to a good start against the Slovakian U23 side, but is well aware that it will not be an easy task following their recent 4-4 draw away to current champions Turkey.
