Bowditch in Action - Ipswich Town News
Academy striker Dean Bowditch is likely to be in international action again on Sunday when the England U17s take on Brazil, the final game in the four-team tournament currently being held in the Midlands.
Bowditch, who scored to superb goals on Thursday as England beat the Czech Republic 2-0, is likely to start up front in the U17s usual 4-3-3 formation.
Sky Sports are covering both the England-Brazil and Italy-Czech Republic matches. Both games are at Oxford's Kassam Stadium with the Italians and Czechs kicking off at 1pm and the England match starting at 3.30pm.
England are currently heading the competition's league table and a draw against the Brazilians would be enough to win it.
