ENGLAND Under-21s return to the Ricoh Arena next week when they play host to Kazakhstan in a qualifier for the European Under-21 Championships.
The Young Lions face only one game in October, with the Ricoh hosting England’s first home qualifier of the new campaign.
Gareth Southgate named a strong 23-man squad for the match on October 13 (5.45pm), with Arsenal’s Calum Chambers, Tottenham’s Eric Dier and Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse all set to play a part.
Southgate’s new-look squad began the season with a 1-0 win over USA’s Olympic hopefuls in Preston, courtesy of James Wilson’s second-half winner at Deepdale.
They then got their Euro Qualifying off to a winning start, with captain James Ward-Prowse’s penalty securing three points against Norway in Drammen.
