Nigeria Target Eze Makes Full Debut For England U21s Vs Netherlands
Published: November 20, 2019After waiting for more than two months, Nigeria Football Federation target Eberechi Eze finally made his full debut for England U21s in their 2-1 loss to the Netherlands in an international friendly on Tuesday, November 19, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
The Queens Park Rangers star first received a call-up to the Young Lions U21 squad ahead of U21 EURO qualifiers against Turkey and Kosovo in September but was not utilized off the bench.
Five days ago, the attacking midfielder became provisionally cap-tied to England after appearing off the bench in the 81st minute as England U21s thrashed Albania 3-0.
Manager Aidy Boothroyd handed Eze his first start against the Dutch U21s in Doetincham on Tuesday and he spent 62 minutes on the pitch before making way for Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson.
The 21-year-old made four starts for England at U20 level while coming off the bench in three games before he was promoted to the U21s this season.
In 16 starts for Queens Park Rangers in the Championship this term, he has found the net six times.
