Aidy Boothroyd admits it will be difficult to lift his England Under-21s players after yet another defeat at the European Championships this international break.
The young Lions followed Thursday's 1-0 defeat to Switzerland with a 2-0 loss to Portugal's youth team on Sunday night, leaving them staring down the barrel of another group stage exit from the competition.
England's Under-21s side exited this stage of the competition last summer and are struggling again, even with the likes of Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi, Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe and Liverpool's Curtis Jones available for selection.
