There have been three changes to the England Under-19s squad ahead of next week’s European Championship Elite Qualifying Round.

Sean O’Driscoll will take his side to France where they face Denmark (on Thursday 26 March), Azerbaijan (Saturday 28 March) and the host nation (Tuesday 31 March).

Only the top-placed nation will make it to the finals which will be held in Greece in July.

But the Young Lions will have to cope without Manchester City duo Brandon Barker and Kean Bryan and Ipswich Town’s Teddy Bishop.

They have been replaced by Chelsea attacker Alex Kiwomya and Reading pair Rob Dickie and Aaron Kuhl.

England have already made it through one round of qualifiers, beating Belarus, Luxembourg and Belgium in October.
