Clarets winger named in England Under-21 squad to complete qualifying campaign

Dwight McNeil is back in the England Under-21 squad for their up-coming European Championship qualifiers as they look to book their place in the 2021 finals.

The Clarets’ winger has been recalled for ties away to Andorra on Wednesday, 7 October and at home to Turkey at Wolves' Molyneux ground on Tuesday, 13 October.

McNeil, an ever-present for the Clarets in the Premier League since the start of last season, has been capped three times by England at Under-21 level after making a debut against Slovenia 12 months ago.

England currently top their qualifying group after six successive wins and will guarantee a place in the finals for the eighth time in a row with victory against Andorra on a 4G pitch at the Estadi Nacional.

Nine group winners and the five best runners-up will join co-hosts Hungary and Slovenia in the finals next summer.
