Arsenal have received a couple of first-time call-ups in the u21 age group, with Charlie Patino and Brooke Norton-Cuffy both making the squad.

Patino is currently out on loan with Swansea City, whilst Norton-Cuffy is on loan with Millwall, but the two will link up with England for a couple of u21 Euro qualifiers this week.

Like the u21s, England have two call-ups in the u19s, Amario Cozier-Duberry and Lino Sousa.

The u19s played a couple of friendlies in Spain’s Costa Brava over the September break, in preparation for their u19 Euro qualifiers in October.

  • Germany 1-0 England – Sousa played 66 minutes for England, before being replaced by his Arsenal teammate Cozier-Duberry for the final 24 minutes.
  • Switzerland 2-4 England – Cozier-Duberry scored one and assisted one, playing 70 minutes for England. Sousa played the final 20 minutes as a substitute.

England u18s

Even though both are still eligible for the younger age groups, it was certainly no surprise to see Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri called up to the England u18 squad for the break.

The duo have been playing their football with the Arsenal u21s in recent times, and they were set to play for the England u18s in the Tournoi International in Limoges this month.

However, Nwaneri didn’t end up playing any minutes, amid suspicions of a possible injury for the youngster. We’ll have to wait for any further news on that.

  • France 2-0 England – Lewis-Skelly played 74 minutes for England, and Nwaneri was an unused substitute.
  • Japan 4-0 England – Lewis-Skelly was an unused substitute for England, and Nwaneri wasn’t involved in the squad.
  • Portugal 2-1 England – Lewis-Skelly played 87 minutes for England, and Nwaneri wasn’t involved in the squad.
