England U15 have some games coming up in February. The squad for the first two matches includes Reading's forward Tyler Adjei. Both games are at St George's Park against Turkey.

Previously I mentioned England U15 training camps in the autumn. There were about 100 players in total, with four from Reading. As well as Adjei, there were also call-ups for Samson Omoregie, Kanazawa Kanninda (or Kaninda) and goalkeeper Luca Hollidge.

Only 1 of the 100 was from Southampton, whilst Swindon had 5 and Oxford 2.
