Easah Suliman named in England U19 Euro Qualifying Squad

Congratulations Easah

England Under-19s head across the border to North Wales next week as they kick-off their Euro campaign in the First Qualifying Round.

The Young Lions will take on hosts Wales, Luxembourg and Greece, knowing that if they finish in the top two of the four-team group, they will take one step closer to the finals in Georgia by progressing to the Elite Qualifying Round.

And head coach Keith Downing has named an 18-man squad for the trip, having enjoyed four warm-up games so far this season with victories against Netherlands, Croatia and Bulgaria and a narrow defeat against Belgium in recent months.

The majority of the group from those fixtures are involved again and there is also a first U19s call-up for Manchester United defender Ro-Shaun Williams.

Downing’s side will kick-off against Luxembourg on Thursday 10 November in Rhyl before facing Wales in Bangor on Saturday 12 November.

The fixtures will conclude on Tuesday 15 November, with the Young Lions tackling Greece at the Belle Vue venue in Rhyl.
