City Youngsters Get England Calls

Two Leicester City youngsters will be pulling on England's colours later this month as they represent their country in the 2014 Nordics Tournament in Denmark.
Promising Academy duo Darnell Johnson and Admiral Muskwe have both been chosen to travel with England Under-16s for the competition, which pits them against some of the best young players across Europe.

The pair both represented Kenny Swain’s England Under-16s last season too, with defender Johnson captaining the side, and they again have a chance to impress by building on an excellent 2013/14 season with Leicester City’s Academy. 

Muskwe joins the squad as a talented young striker, and they are just two of a long list of Leicester City players to earn international call-ups on the back of their achievements in the Club’s Category 1 Academy. 

The tournament runs from 28 July until 2 August, with England’s youngsters drawn in group B alongside Sweden, Finland and Iceland, who they will face in their opening game in the Nr. Aaby Stadium. 

Tough fixtures against Finland and Sweden follow on 29 and 31 July respectively, before a final game against either the Faroe Islands, Norway, Denmark or the USA from Group A will decide their final position in the competition.
