Chido Obi-Martin started and scored against Finland U18s today in a 1-2 defeat.

He played the last 30 minutes against Finland on Wednesday.
 
Jayden Ngwashi played 62 minutes and Bendito Mantato 15 minutes as England U17s drew 1-1 with Belgium.
 
Samuel Lusale starts (#7) for Slovakia U18s vs Romania U18s.

Weird that Ngwashi gets called up for u17 but isn't playing for u18 whereas the likes of Kukonki and Armer don't get called up for u17 and are regulars in our teams.

Could be that the FA are doing this to try to convince him to choose England over Italy. But yeah I’m surprised if Munro and Kukonki don’t get England call-ups soon. Armer could opt for Scotland too.

Munro and Armer are older so aren’t eligible for u17s, Munro is in the u19s cycle now.

Yeah not saying he could be in the same squad as Ngwashi, but in his own age group. He’s been simply put amazing this season. Then again all England age groups are full of very good players.
