ENGLAND travel to Slovakia with the tall task of defending their Euros title – and the full squad has been announced!
The Young Lions ended 39 years of pain when a youthful Cole Palmer’s deflected strike fired them to Euros glory in 2023.
But a lot of the plaudits went to James Trafford whose sensational double save in stoppage time, helped England cross the finish line.
However, a different set of Young Lions will need to shine with both Palmer and Trafford now part of the England senior set up.
And Lee Carsley has finally made his decision on who will be part of the mission to retain their Euros title.
