England head to the 2023 FIFA U20 World Cup in Argentina among the favourites to go on to win the tournament in June.
The Young Lions are aiming to secure the trophy they memorably lifted in South Korea in 2017 and potentially boost their own Premier League careers next season.
The winning side from six years ago included current top-flight regulars such as Dominic Solanke and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, alongside Serie A duo Ademola Lookman and Fikayo Tomori.
Ian Foster has picked a strong squad for the tournament ahead of facing a demanding group stage up against Uruguay, Iraq and Tunisia.
