James Maddison & Aaron Wan-Bissaka Named in England Squad for European Under-21 Championship

England Under-21 manager Aidy Boothroyd has named a strong squad for the upcoming European Championships in Italy and San Marino.

The Young Lions were hugely impressive in qualifying, and will now face France, Romania and Croatia in the group stage in June, before looking to enjoy an extended run in the competition.

Boothroyd's squad was revealed in a post on the FA's official website, noting that the group is largely made up of players who have excelled in the qualifying stages in recent months.

There is certainly no shortage of star power in the team, with Premier League stars such as Leicester City's James Maddison and Crystal Palace's Aaron Wan-Bissaka both part of the team.
