Two Manchester City youngsters have been included in Ryan Garry’s England Under-17s squad for the upcoming UEFA Under-17 Championship qualifying round.

Defender Lakyle Samuel and forward Justin Oboavwoduo have made the 21-man squad who will fly out to Georgia to take part in a four-team group, with the aim of reaching the elite qualifying round in Hungary next Spring.
