McAtee named in England U21 Euros squad | OneFootball

James McAtee has been named in England U21s' squad for this summer's European Championship in Slovakia.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is one of 23 players selected by Lee Carsley for the tournament, which will begin on 11 June.

Our Academy graduate has already played 18 times for England U21s since his debut in June 2022.

He had a vital role in helping the Three Lions reach this competition, playing all 10 qualifiers and scoring five goals including braces against Serbia and Ukraine.

England have been drawn in Group B of the Euros, with matches against Czech Republic (12 June), Slovenia (15 June) and Germany (18 June) to come.

The top two will then progress to the quarter-finals, where one leg ties will be played all the way to the final in Bratislava on 28 June.

Good luck, James!
