Former Sunderland loanee Callum Doyle has been named in the England Under-19 squad for the European Under-19 Championship in Slovakia. Doyle, who has now returned to parent club Manchester City, played a key role in the Three Lions’ qualification, featuring in five of their six matches.
After making 44 appearances in all competitions for Sunderland last season, Doyle is among the most experienced players in Ian Foster’s squad. He helped the Black Cats win promotion back to the Championship at the fourth time of asking with a 2-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers in the play-off final at Wembley.
The tournament got underway on Saturday and England play their first match this evening, as they face Austria. Serbia and Israel are the Young Lions’ other two opponents in the group, and those fixtures will take place on Wednesday and Saturday respectively.
