Leicester City schoolboy Keenan King has been called into the England Under-16 squad for their Victory Shield match against Wales.
The 15-year-old forward will join up with Kenny Swain’s 18-player group this week ahead of the game in Port Talbot on Thursday, which will be shown live on Sky Sports (kick-off 7.35pm).
Keenan, a pupil at Oadby Beauchamp College, was invited to attend an England Under-16 training camp at Warwick University back in July, alongside City team-mate Brandon Fox, and will be among 10 new faces in Swain’s squad for this week’s game.
England made a winning start to this year’s home nations tournament with a comfortable 5-0 victory in Northern Ireland in September. Thursday’s game is the first of two fixtures they face in November, with Scotland due to visit at the end of the month.
