Lee Carsley, the manager of England's Under-21 team, has announced his squad for the European Championship in Slovakia. Notably absent is striker Liam Delap, who recently transferred to Chelsea. Delap is expected to join Chelsea in the United States for the Club World Cup starting on 14 June. The U21 Euros are scheduled from 11 to 28 June.

Sunderland's Jobe Bellingham has been included in the squad but might withdraw if his speculated move to Borussia Dortmund materialises. Dortmund's group includes Fluminense, Ulsan HD, and Mamelodi Sundowns. Meanwhile, Chelsea will compete against Flamengo, Esperance de Tunis, and Los Angeles FC.

Among those selected are Premier League champions Jarell Quansah and Harvey Elliott. They are joined by Manchester City's James McAtee and Newcastle United's Tino Livramento. England enters the tournament as defending champions after their 2023 victory. Only Charlie Cresswell from Toulouse and Elliott remain from that winning team.

England's campaign kicks off on 12 June against Czechia, followed by Slovenia three days later, and concluding with Germany on 18 June. West Bromwich Albion's Tom Fellows will accompany the team as an additional training player.
