Arsenal’s England youth internationals have played limited minutes over the October break so far, for various reasons.

Arsenal loanees Charlie Patino (Swansea City) and Brooke Norton-Cuffy (Millwall) were both called up for the England u21s over the October break, but neither featured in the opening game against Serbia.

The pair are new to the u21s, only receiving their first call-ups in September, so they’re easing their way in right now.

  • Thursday, October 12th – England u21s 9-1 Serbia – UEFA U21 Euro Qualifier
  • 17:30 – Monday, October 16th – Ukraine vs England u21s – UEFA U21 Euro Qualifier

Reuell Walters was set to return to the England u20s this month, now referred to as the “England Euro Elite League Squad”, but he had to withdraw through injury.

Arsenal were meant to have two players in the England u19s, Lino Sousa and Amario Cozier-Duberry, but Cozier-Duberry had to withdraw with an injury.

As a result, Sousa is the one Arsenal youngster to play for the England youth teams over the international break so far.

  • Wednesday, October 11th – England u19s 0-0 Montenegro – UEFA U19 Euro Qualifier – Sousa played 90 minutes for England and helped them to keep a clean sheet.
  • Saturday, October 14th – England u19s 1-1 Wales – UEFA U19 Euro Qualifier – Sousa played 90 minutes for England.
  • 17:00 – Tuesday, October 17th – Austria vs England u19s – UEFA U19 Euro Qualifier

England u18s and u17s

Arsenal didn’t receive any call-ups for the England u18s or u17s.

Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly would surely have been involved in one of the two sides (probably the u18s) if fit, but both have been absent from Arsenal’s recent youth squads.
