Summer signings Marlo Bernard and Vincent Joseph, along with goalkeeper Charlie Phillips, join the England under-17s for games against the Republic of Ireland, Israel, Venezuela and Germany.

Callan Hamill has earned his first Scotland under-19s call-up after previously captaining the country at under-17 level. The versatile defender and midfielder will be in contention for minutes against Finland, Czechia and Ukraine in Alicante.

New signing Axel Donczew, just 16 years old, has been included in the Wales under-19s squad after scoring on his debut in a 5-1 win over Norwich City under-18s. The young side will face the USA, Norway and Northern Ireland in Marbella.

Central defender Daniel McCarron has been called up to Northern Ireland's under-17s for games against Switzerland, Sweden and Wales in Spain, while defender Patrick Stachow will feature for Poland's under-18s against Sweden and Uruguay.

In addition to the ten players involved in match action, under-16s full-back Isiah Matthews will join the Uganda under-17s squad for a training camp ahead of the zonal qualifiers for the 2027 U17 African Cup of Nations.
