Chalobah and Morris Could Win Caps in England U19s Euros Opener - Ipswich Town News

Blues loanee Trevoh Chalobah and striker Ben Morris could win England U19s caps this afternoon when the Young Lions take on Turkey in their opening group game at the European Championships in Seinajoki, Finland (Sky Sports Football from 4.25pm)

Central defender or midfielder Chalobah, who joined Town on a season-long loan from Chelsea at the start of the month, was a member of the England squad which won the competition in Georgia last summer and looks a certain starter this evening having previously picked up 20 U19s caps, scoring one goal.

Morris is yet to play at U19 level, but has previously featured for the England U17s and U18s, and appears likely to be on the bench.

Andre Dozzell was also a key man in the side which won the Euros last summer but has remained behind this year as he continues his return from injury.
