Leeds United youngsters Mateo Joseph and Darko Gyabi have been included in England U20's World Cup squad. The duo will jet off to Argentina for the tournament which kick-starts later this month on May 20, but there are also question marks over the pairs' availability for Leeds' U21s Premier League 2 Division 2 play-off final against Nottingham Forest on May 15.
The young Three Lions will take on Iraq, Tunisia and Uruguay in the group stages of the tournament as they look to get their hands back on the silverware. Ukraine are the current holders having beaten South Korea 3-1 back in 2019.
England won the previous tournament in 2017 with a squad that included former Leeds United youngster Lewis Cook and a number of now established Premier League professionals. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Dominic Solanke, Ademola Lookman, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Ezri Konsa, Dean Henderson, Kyle Walker-Peters and Fikayo Tomori all featured in Paul Simpson's tournament winning squad.
