Hutchinson and England U21s Face Spain - Ipswich Town News

Blues forward Omari Hutchinson and his England U21s teammates face Spain in the European Championship quarter-finals in Slovakia (KO 8pm, Channel 4).

The Young Lions reached the knockout stage despite losing 2-1 to group winners Germany on Wednesday having beaten Czechia 3-1 and then drawn with Slovenia in their previous matches.

Hutchinson, who started the first and third games and came on as a sub in the second, has been one of the top performers in Lee Carsley’s side, picking up an assist against the Germans, with the team overall yet to show their full potential.

The 21-year-old is set for his eighth U21s cap this evening and will be aiming to add to his two goals at that level.

Spain, who topped their group ahead of Italy, are the favourites to carry off the trophy with tonight’s match a rerun of the 2023 final, which England won 1-0 in Georgia.

Tonight’s victors will take on either Portugal or the Netherlands in the semi-finals on Wednesday.
