Eleven of our academy players have been called up to represent their nations across the September international break, with seven aiming to represent England in various age categories.

For the under-21s, Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Charlie Patino are in the squad for a 2025 UEFA U21 Euro qualifier away to Luxembourg. It’s both players' first call-up to the under-21 squad, as they make the step up from the under-20s.

Reuell Walters is in the under-20s squad for their training camp at St. George’s Park as they prepare for the Euro U20 Elite League in October.

At under-19 level, Amario Cozier-Duberry and Lino Sousa are in Simon Rusk’s squad heading to Oliva Nova Football Centre in Spain to face Germany and Switzerland in friendly matches.

As for England under-18s, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri have been called up to represent Ryan Garry’s Young Lions, who will be contesting the Tournoi International in Limoges, France. They will play France, Japan and Portugal at the Stade de Beaublanc, and the tournament is in preparation for the FIFA U17 World Cup in Indonesia in November and December.

Salah-Eddine Oulad M'Hand has been called up for Morocco’s under-23s to take part in two friendly fixtures at Mohammed VI Complex, while at under-20s level Ismail Oulad M’Hand is getting ready for a pair of friendlies against Belgium.
