Lee Carsley returns to lead the England U21 team, tasked with defending their European title won in Georgia two summers ago. This iteration faces a markedly different squad as several eligible players, including Jude Bellingham and Levi Colwill, have graduated to senior roles. Carsley had previously held an interim senior coaching position, during which he introduced young talents like Curtis Jones, though these players are not part of the current U21 squad. In this tournament, the U21s begin their campaign against the Czech Republic, mirroring their opening match in 2023.
Lee Carsley, back in charge of England's U21 team, aims to defend their trophy, facing a significantly changed squad landscape since winning in 2023.
Despite promoting talents like Curtis Jones during his brief senior stint, Carsley now introduces a new generation in the U21 setup, not including stars from the last tournament.
