Chelsea duo Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Izzy Brown, as well as Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts, have been left out of the England U21 squad for the upcoming European Championships in Poland.

Aidy Boothroyd's side were already dealt a large blow last month when Marcus Rashford was left out of the squad after being called up to the senior team.

However, Boothroyd remains upbeat of England's chances.

He said: "I think we're well equipped on paper and it's now about putting some hard work in on the grass, which we've been doing over the last three weeks to be ready for the tournament."

England will face the hosts, Slovenia and Sweden in the group stage.
