Downes and Dozzell in England U20s Squad - Ipswich Town News

Town duo Flynn Downes and Andre Dozzell have been named in the England U20s squad for friendlies in Italy and against the Czech Republic at Peterborough later this month.

The Young Lions take on the Italians on Thursday 10th October in Parma, then face the Czechs at London Road on Monday 14th October.

Downes has previously won two U20s caps but wasn't included in the squad for last month's internationals.

Dozzell played in both those matches taking his U20s cap total to five.

Town's game against Wycombe Wanderers, which was scheduled to be played next Saturday, has been postponed due to the Blues' international calls and will now be played on Tuesday 26th November.
