Two Liverpool schoolboys have been selected to represent their countries at upcoming major international tournaments.
Fifteen-year-olds Gabriano Shelton and DJ Esdaille, who attend St Francis Xavier’s College in Woolton, have seen their fine performances for Liverpool's academy sides rewarded with international call-ups to South Africa and England.
Shelton, a talented right-back who lives in Norris Green, was named in South Africa U17s' 30-man squad for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament which will take place in Algeria later this month. Duncan Crowie's side are in Group B and will face Nigeria, Morocco and Zambia.
