Arsenal youth duo Jack Porter and Max Dowman have both been called up by England for the u17 European Championships this month.
England have confirmed their u17 squad for this month’s Euros in Albania, kicking off next week on Tuesday.
Unsurprisingly, both Jack Porter and Max Dowman are involved, having played a key role in helping the team to qualify in the first place.
The two players spent time with the England u17s over the last couple of international breaks, achieving qualification to both the Euros and the World Cup.
Porter played in two of England’s three wins in their March qualifiers, keeping a clean sheet against Israel. The goalkeeper had also kept a clean sheet against Malta in one of his two appearances in the previous round of qualifiers in October.
As for Dowman, the 15-year-old is already one of the stars of the team, scoring three goals and assisting two more across his six qualification appearances.
The duo will face off against Belgium, Italy, and the Czech Republic in Group B, with Group A containing hosts Albania, France, Germany, and Portugal.
