Bidwell Named In England U19 Squad

Young Everton defender Jake Bidwell has been included in the England U19 squad to face Denmark next week.

Last year's Academy Player of the Season Bidwell is a versatile player who can play as a full-back or in the centre of defence, and his good form for Everton's Academy and reserve sides has seen him rewarded with international recognition.

Having previously played for England at U16 and U17 level, he has been named in an 18-man squad for the U19 game against Denmark at Brighton & Hove Albion's Amex Stadium on Thursday 10th November.

The full England U19 squad is:

Goalkeepers: Sam Johnstone (Scunthorpe United, on loan from Manchester United), Connor Ripley (Middlesbrough)
