During the international break in March, England U21 will be fielding a star-studded team that includes players from the Premier League and Europe.
The 25-man squad that will be led by head coach Lee Carsley has been disclosed in advance of the upcoming friendlies against France and Portugal.
It has been estimated by Transfermarkt that the total market value of all of the players is approximately 411 million pounds.
The star player for Borussia Dortmund, Jamie Gittens, is currently in first place, with an estimated value of approximately 42 million pounds.
The twenty-year-old player has already made eleven appearances for the England Under-21 team and has scored eleven goals in as many matches as he has played this season.
Although Ethan Nwaneri, a star player for Arsenal, was not considered a serious contender for the senior team, the 17-year-old has still managed to make the transition to the U21 level. +1
The winger has earned a promotion from the Under-19s after scoring eight goals in his first senior season with the Gunners. He has earned this promotion for good reason.
Rico Lewis, who has seen action for Manchester City in the 2024/25 season so far, will be joining him for the upcoming break. Lewis has played 36 times for Manchester City.
During the time that Carsley was serving as interim manager the previous year, he chose the defender to be a part of the senior team. However, they will be returning together in a lower level.
As a result of another successful season with Everton, Jarrad Branthwaite has been selected, and Adam Wharton, who plays for Crystal Palace, has also been selected.
The attacking options that have been chosen include the trio of Liam Delap, Omari Hutchinson, and Jaden Philogene, all of whom are from Ipswich Town.
Nine out of the twenty-five players are currently playing in the English Football League, with two of the goalkeepers coming from teams that compete in League Two.
Teddy Sharman-Lowe is currently playing for Doncaster Rovers on loan from Chelsea, and Tommy Simkin, a young player for Stoke City, is currently playing for Walsall.
The defenders CJ Egan-Riley and Dennis Cirkin, along with James Beadle, are all members of Sheffield Wednesday’s squad that competes in the Championship.
Midfielder Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland joins Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney as a representative. Hackney is one of Middlesbrough’s representatives.
Jay Stansfield of Birmingham City, who has scored 16 goals so far this season, is the second-highest scorer in League One. Sam Iling Jr., who is also selected from Middlesbrough, follows in his footsteps.
