England men’s under-17s head to Belgium for two games in November’s international window, with a 23-man squad selected for the trip.

The double header for Neil Ryan’s squad comes hot on the heels of their UEFA U17 EURO qualifiers in late October when the Young Lions won all three of their games in Malta to reach the elite qualifying round next spring.

Their games are being staged at Belgium’s national football centre in Tubize, with the first match taking place on Friday 15 November (6pm GMT) before they play again on Monday 18 November (11am GMT).
