International Call Ups

Billy and Roberts will both be off to Ukraine to play Ukraine, Portugal and Austria in the Under 17 European Championships this summer. Billy, who already has a cap for the U-19s, is Englands most important and experienced player in the squad after James Milner was pulled out. However, Billy could still be staying at home as the they jet off next week after the Sunderland game and should the Alex still need points against Norwich then England have agreed to pull Billy out of the squad.

Kyle Wilson also has a call up for England. The 18 year old will be also be off to the Ukraine but with the England U-18s. The very highly regarded striker hasn't yet made his debut but goals galore for youth teams, where he's finished top scorer twice in a row, shows he has a promising future. Wilson will be playing in a European Championship Qualifying mini tournament and will be up against Slovenia tomorrow (28th), Denmark on Friday and Ukraine on 2nd May.

Meanwhile, at senior level Steve Jones will be off to play for Northern Ireland this week. The 16 goal man was named in the squad to play Serbia tomorrow at Windsor Park. With Lawrie Sanchez already ending the 15 game goalless run and the winless streak in his first two games Ireland are confident to progress further.

Good luck to Billy, Roberts, Wilson and Jones.
