Academy schoolboy Andre Dozzell is on the bench for the England U16s for tonight’s final Victory Shield match against Scotland at Yeovil’s Huish Park (Sky Sports 5, 8pm).
Dozzell, 15, who will start a full-time scholarship at Playford Road next summer, scored the winning goal as England beat Northern Ireland 1-0 at Dungannon earlier in the month.
Shortly after that game his dad, former Blues midfielder and current academy coach Jason, told TWTD: "A brilliant moment for me, watching him run out for the England U16s and then to top it off by getting the winner. I’m a very proud father.”
A win tonight could see England lift the Victory Shield depending on the result of the earlier game between Northern Ireland and Wales (Sky Sports 5, 6pm).
England U16s: Taye Ashby-Hammond (Fulham), Ryan Sandford (Millwall), Tolaji Bola (Arsenal), Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea), Diego Lattie (Manchester City), Vashon Neufville (West Ham United), Japhet Tanganga (Tottenham Hotspur), Ayotomiwa Bashiru (Manchester City), Andre Dozzell (Ipswich Town), Charlie Gilmour (Arsenal), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Callum Slattery (Southampton), Joe Willock (Arsenal), Martell Taylor Crossdale (Chelsea), Jonathan Leko (West Bromwich Albion), Adam Lewis (Liverpool), Reiss Nelson (Arsenal), Dan N’Lundulu (Southampton).
