Confirmed alignments as three lions begin the defense of the European Crown

England U21 is found in Czexia in Slovakia, as the three lions begin the defense of the European Championship crown that they won in Georgia two summers ago.

Lee Carsley’s side is in a group with Germany and Slovenia and will be favorite to get victorious out of his opening game.

Defender Charlie Cresswell and Liverpool’s midfielder Harvey Elliott are the only remaining players who went to the squad until 2023, but Carsley’s squad is exploding with senior Premier League experience and attacker talent.

They are then shown how both teams align for Thursday’s device.
