Son of ex-Man City star Shaun Wright-Phillips gets England U16s call

The son of former Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has been called up to the England under-16s squad for the forthcoming Montaigu Tournament in France.

D'Margio Wright-Phillips, 16, is one of five Manchester City academy players to be named in the touring party.

His 35-year-old father, who also came through that academy, now plays for United Soccer League team Phoenix Rising FC and has also played for Chelsea, Queens Park Rangers and New York Red Bulls.

The under-16 squad also includes Tommy Doyle, the grandson of former City star Mike Doyle, with a total of 22 City academy players having received international callups within the past two weeks.
