Pym and Grimes Named in England Squad for Canada/Portugal Friendly

England Under 20s head coach Aidy Boothroyd has selected a 22-man squad for their games next week against Canada and Portugal. The squad will also include AFC Bournemouth’s young defender Baily Cargill, for his first call-up.

Following the match in Bournemouth, the squad head to Coimbra for a match against Portugal on Monday 17 November. It is thought that the Exeter players will not travel, as they are needed for the game against Newport County on the Sunday.

The squad

Goalkeepers: Christy Pym (Exeter City), Christian Walton (Brighton & Hove Albion), Joe Wildsmith (Sheffield Wednesday).

Defenders: Dominic Ball (Tottenham Hotspur), Kortney Hause (Gillingham, loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers), Lloyd Jones (Liverpool), Shay Facey (Manchester City), Matt Targett (Southampton), Baily Cargill (AFC Bournemouth).

Midfielders: Paul Digby (Barnsley), John Swift (Rotherham United, loan from Chelsea), Josh Harrop (Manchester United), Harrison Reed (Southampton), Lewis Baker (Chelsea), Matty Grimes (Exeter City), Alex Mowatt (Leeds United).

Forward: Jordon Ibe (Derby County, loan from Liverpool), Josh Murphy (Norwich City), Rolando Aarons (Newcastle United), Kwame Thomas (Derby County), Chuba Akpom (Arsenal), James Wilson (Manchester United).

There is an opportunity to see the young England team in action, and hopefully the Exeter players, when they face Canada at AFC Bournemouth’s Goldsands Stadium.
