Blues duo Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson have been named in an England U21s training squad ahead of the European U21 Championship in Slovakia in June.
The camp will take place at the national football centre at St George’s Park before head coach Carsley names his final squad of 23 players on Friday 6th June.
England play Czechia in their first group game on Thursday 12th June, then face Slovenia on Sunday 15th June before completing their group games against Germany Wednesday 18th June ahead of the knockout phase.
Delap, 22, who may have left the Blues prior to the tournament’s start having held talks with Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle, has been capped 12 times at U21 level, scoring three times, while Hutchinson, 21, has played four games for the U21s, scoring twice.
Fellow Blues forward Jaden Philogene, 23, had been in line for a place in the squad until he suffered an MCL injury at Chelsea last month.
Meanwhile, former Blues loanee Trevoh Chalobah, 25, has been named in the England senior squad for the first time ahead of the games against Andorra and Senegal next month.
