England's U20s have faced Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy and Czech Republic so far this season

England U20s are back in action in November with a trip to Germany for Keith Downing’s Young Lions.

After a 5-1 win over Italy and a 4-0 victory against Czech Republic last month, Downing’s team have one fixture to prepare for this month.

Germany v England
  • U20 International Match

But it’s set to be one of the toughest of their campaign as they travel to Zwickau in eastern Germany for the game.

Downing has named an 18-man squad for the game, with the group reporting to St. George’s Park next week to begin their preparations before heading to Germany next weekend.
