England Under-21 squad: Man City pair left out as Lee Carsley makes request to Pep Guardiola | OneFootball

The Man City pair will not be involved as England Under-21s prepare for this summer’s European Championships

James McAtee and Rico Lewis have not been selected as part of Lee Carsley's England Under-21 preparation camp ahead of their European Championship in Slovakia this summer.

The Manchester City duo have a "choice" between representing City at the Club World Cup or their nation this summer according to Pep Guardiola.

Adam Wharton, however, has been included by Carsley after being left out by senior England coach Thomas Tuchel.

The 21-year-old featured in England's Euro 2024 campaign but has had a stop-start Premier League season with injuries.

Liverpool's Harvey Elliot and Newcastle's Tino Livramento have been included alongside Ipswich's Liam Delap, who has been linked with a move away from Portman Road this summer.

England's opening game comes against Czech Republic on June 12 before meetings with Slovenia and Germany make up Group B.
