Emma Coates has named her England WU18s squad for the upcoming three-team friendly tournament at St. George’s Park.
The 20-player squad will take on Canada [Tuesday 9 July, kick-off 2pm], Northern Ireland [Saturday 13 July, kick-off 2pm] before a second meeting with the Canadians [Tuesday 16 July, kick-off 12pm].
The Young Lionesses were last in action back in April where they contested a double-header against Scotland and the forthcoming trio of matches cap off their 2018-19 term.
Coates said: “It’s a real privilege to name this squad for the final fixtures of the season.
“We're all looking forward to the tournament and playing at St. George’s Park is always a fantastic experience.
“We have three matches against different opposition, another important stage in our players’ development.”
