Duo Could Win Caps as England U19s Face Ukraine - Ipswich Town News

Blues loanee Trevoh Chalobah and striker Ben Morris could win England U19s caps this afternoon when the Young Lions face Ukraine in their second 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, skippered the side as they beat Turkey 3-2 in their opening match on Tuesday and again looks set to wear the armband today.

Chalobah was a member of the England squad which won the competition in Georgia last summer and has now won 21 U19s caps, scoring one goal.

Morris, an unused sub against the Turks, is yet to play at U19 level, but has previously featured for the England U17s and U18s, and again appears likely to be on the bench this evening.

Ukraine beat France 2-1 in their opening game on Tuesday. The England youngsters play the French in their final group game on Monday.

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.

Fellow midfielders Tristan Nydam and Flynn Downes also won U19s caps last season but Town were unwilling to release the duo for the competition, preferring that they remain in Suffolk for pre-season.

England U19s: Ellery Balcombe (Brentford), Jamie Cumming (Chelsea), Trevoh Chalobah (Ipswich Town, on loan from Chelsea), Nathan Ferguson (West Bromwich Albion), Ed Francis (Almere City, on loan from Manchester City), Tariq Lamptey (Chelsea), Dujon Sterling (Coventry City, on loan from Chelsea), Japhet Tanganga (Tottenham Hotspur), Tom Bayliss (Coventry City), Elliot Embleton (Sunderland), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Nya Kirby (Crystal Palace), Adam Lewis (Liverpool), Max Sanders (Brighton & Hove Albion), Marcus Tavernier (Middlesbrough), Kelland Watts (Newcastle United), Ben Brereton (Nottingham Forest), Niall Ennis (Wolverhampton Wanderers), George Hirst (OH Leuven), Ben Morris (Ipswich Town).
