Blues loan duo Nelly Las and Ava Baker have been named in the England U20 squad for their training camp and friendlies in Spain from the end of the month.
The camp is part of the preparation for the final round of U19 European Championship qualifiers and the U20 World Cup in Poland in September.
The squad is made up of U20s and U19s players and will train at the Albir Garden Resort on the Costa Blanca where they will play hosts Spain on Saturday 28th February, the Netherlands on Tuesday 3rd March and Mexico on Friday 6th March.
