How are England's Under-17 World Cup winners from 2017 getting on?

Jadon Sancho, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Phil Foden are three young Englishmen enjoying excellent seasons for their clubs.

What they have in common is that all three were part of the England squad that won the FIFA Under 17 World Cup during a memorable tournament in India back in 2017.

After topping a group that contained Iraq, Mexico and Chile with three wins from three, Steve Cooper's Young Lions beat Japan on penalties in the last-16 before thrashing the United States 4-1 in the quarter-finals.
