Boothroyd confident England U21s can recover after dismal European Championship loss to Switzerland

Aidy Boothroyd insists he is not feeling the pressure and is confident his England U21 side can recover following a disastrous start to their European Championship finals campaign.

The Young Lions lost 1-0 to Switzerland in their opening match in Slovenia and will likely face even tougher tests next with fixtures against Portugal and Croatia to follow.

With his contract up in the summer, Boothroyd has, however, dismissed the speculation surrounding his position and is confident that his side can still recover to reach the knockout phase.
