Published: October 05, 2018The English Football Association on Friday morning announced the rosters for the U19, U20 and U21 national teams and as expected, several dual-eligible English-Nigerian players have received invitations for the October fixtures.
Liverpool's Dominic Solanke, Chelsea duo Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham, Tottenham Hotspur's Josh Onomah and Everton winger Ademola Lookman have all been named in the England U21 squad.
England U21s, who are coached by Aidy Boothroyd, battle Andorra and Scotland on October 11 and 16 respectively in the UEFA European U21 Championship qualifiers and need a point to seal qualification.
