Aidy Boothroyd and his squad trained on Monday evening ahead of trip to Southampton

Tuesday 08 Nov 2016

The England Under-21s squad were re-united again at St. George's Park on Monday evening for the first time since securing Euro qualification.

Aidy Boothroyd's group, who beat Kazakhstan and Bosnia & Herzegovina to seal top spot in their group last month, trained in the evening as they prepare to face Italy in Southampton on Thursday.

And they were joined by two new faces, as Swansea City defender Alfie Mawson and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks reported for U21s duty for the first time after catching Boothroyd's eye with their recent appearances.

The Young Lions squad will remain working at the national football centre until Wednesday, when they head south ahead of the game at St. Mary's Stadium, which will see three members of the group return to their own club.

U21s captain James Ward-Prowse, forward Nathan Redmond and defender Jack Stephens all ply their trade with the Saints and will be keen to run out on their own turf wearing the Three Lions.

Following Thursday's game, attentions will turn to next Monday's clash with France in Bondoufle, just outside Paris, as the U21s look to start their build-up to next summer's trip to Poland for the Euro Finals.
