Both Michael Chopra and Steve Taylor have been named in the England squad for the World Under-20 Championships in the United Arab Emirates - which runs from 27 November to 19 December.

Striker Chopra and defender Taylor (Aged 17) will fly to the Middle East at the end of next week for the tournament.

The England side takes on Wales in a friendly at Stoke's Britannia Stadium on Friday night (kicking off at 7:15pm) and both players will feature.

Unfortunately for them, their Newcastle team-mate Stephen Brennan is suffering from a thigh injury and has been forced to pull out of the Republic of Ireland squad.
