Ranking England U21s by chance of going to Euro 2024: Chelsea pair in top five | OneFootball
Jacob Ramsey, Curtis Jones and Emile Smith Rowe are among the England U21 stars pushing for a place at Euro 2024.
The England Under-21s are into their first Euros final since 2009 and ahead of their clash with Spain on Saturday we’ve pondered which of Lee Carsley’s 23-man squad might make it on to the plane with Harry Kane and the senior lads for the Euros proper in 2024.
