Arsenal's Chambers: England U21s up for Euro2015 challenge

Calum Chambers is confident that the England U21 side is well-prepared mentally and physically for the UEFA U21 European Championships.

Gareth Southgate's Young Lions head to the Czech Republic in June to take on the likes of Portugal, Sweden and Italy at Euro2015 and the Arsenal defender insists that the players are primed for the enormous task in front of them.

"It will be a big test, like any games internationally are," Chambers told theFA.com.

"It's going to be a new experience, playing foreign teams in a tournament and the way and style they play is different so it will be an experience for all of us and one that we can learn from going into the tournament."

He added: "It will be a big challenge, it's a big competition and very well-known and there's going to be a lot of quality there.

"The lads are all really excited about it and we want to do as well as we can in it."
