Under-20s Duo Withdrawn

Jonjoe Kenny and Callum Connolly have withdrawn from the England Under-20 squad for the upcoming friendly against Brazil.

The Blues duo were included in Aidy Boothroyd’s 23-man squad alongside teammate Kieran Dowell, but will now be replaced after sustaining injuries in Thursday’s Under-23 fixture at Leicester City.

Dowell will be hoping to collect his first cap at Under-20 level when the young Lions face Brazil on Sunday 4 September at Kidderminster, with a behind-closed-doors warm-up game taking place between the two sides at St George’s Park earlier in the week.
