Premiership clubs are fully supportive of England U21 boss Stuart Pearce's plans for this summer's European Championship.

The Daily Mail says Pearce has received unanimous co-operation from Premier League bosses after outlining his demands ahead of this summer's European Championship finals.

He has written to his players and their managers to avoid a similar situation to the one that he inherited two seasons ago and he has received unequivocal support.

Two players pulled out in controversial circumstances - Gabriel Agbonlahor had left for holiday and David Bentley complained of tiredness - weakening a squad that lost on penalties to host nation Holland in the semi-final.
