England’s Under-21 squad are heading to Slovakia to defend their title as Euros champions. The nation secured victory in the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Georgia and will be hoping history can repeat itself two years on.

England enter the Under 21 European Championships in Slovakia among the favourites to go all the way. The Young Lions will be led by Lee Carsley, who recently signed a new deal after returning to the post following a stint as the senior team's interim manager.

Liam Delap will not play for England Under-21's at this month's European Championships following his transfer from Ipswich to Chelsea.
