Supposedly a minor injury. I'm surprised it's Lafont's first call-up, though.
Could be one worth watching for us, especially as his contract is up in 2024.
 
Fixtures:

England: Italy (A) Friday 23rd, Germany (H) Monday 26th.
Scotland: Ukraine (H) Wednesday 21st, Ireland (H) Saturday 24th, Ukraine (A) Tuesday 27th.
Wales: Belgium (A) Thursday 22nd, Poland (H) Sunday 25th.
Northern Ireland: Kosovo (H) 5pm Saturday 24th, Greece (A) Tuesday 27th.
Ireland: Scotland (A) Saturday 24th, Armenia (H) Tuesday 27th.

All matches are Nations League matches and kick off at 7.45pm, unless stated otherwise.
 
Sami Mokbel from the Fail is claiming that Yaya Toure is working with England's U21s.
Part of his coaching education via our academy, apparently.

Quick! Someone check if it's his birthday soon.

Why do I think Slabhead will be playing in the first game of the World Cup whether he plays another minute for ManU or not? Same with others. If Sterling didn't even bother to move on the pitch in every game for Chelsea until the WC he'd still play. Coady will probably play ahead of Dier. Kalvin Phillips might also have been selected even if he never played a minute for Man City (which was perhaps what was happening until his injury), and he might even be selected now on the off chance his leg might grow back in the few days after they arrive in Bastardland.

Sessegnon, Skipp and Spence all start for England U21s and it's on Youtube.
 
England U21s 2-0 up after 5 minutes. Both for Brewster. Quick start.

Edit: Udogie has come on at half-time and been very lively. Caused some problems cutting inside.
Sessegnon, Spence and Skipp all subbed off in a mass sub on 71 minutes.
Nicolo Rovella (Monza on loan from Juventus) dismissed for a 2nd yellow card on 87 minutes.

2-0 FT. Italy U21s lose for the first time in over 18 months.
England being able to bring on Aarons, Gordon, Ramsey, Garner and Elliott suggests lots of depth.

Hopefully club + England are shaping the max amount of
game time that Skipp gets in his legs over this period
(ideally want him PL starting XI fit come october) ,

He got around the pitch well enough and played decently, but he's clearly quite rusty.
