England announces squad ahead of U20 FIFA World Cup
Three Liones have picked 21-man squad for U20 World Cup
England men's under-20 team is out for the FIFA U20 World Cup, which will be held in Argentina in the coming weeks.
Manager Ian Foster has named a 21-man team for the Young Lions' journey to South America, in which they will face Tunisia, Uruguay, and Iraq in group phase matches later this month.
England competed for the World Cup, which was originally slated for taking place in Indonesia until being moved to Argentina earlier this year, after claiming the U19 EURO title the previous year.
And the team that will travel across the Atlantic includes 16 of the players who claimed the tournament in Slovakia last summer under Foster.
Four players are at present with teams competing in the EFL play-off contests, with semi-finals slated for that place during the course of seven days and finals planned for May 26-28. Once their participation in the matches is over, the players will return to the England squad.
The Young Lions are going to be headquartered in Buenos Aires for the remainder of their group-stage matches, which will all take place at the La Plata Stadium.
They begin their campaign on Monday, May 22 (7 pm BST), before facing Tunisia again on Thursday, May 25 (7 pm BST).
