Walsall's Rico Henry gets England U19 call-up

Walsall's teenage star Rico Henry has been called up by England under-19s for their double header in Mexico next month.

The 18-year-old has replaced Manchester United's Cameron Borthwick-Jackson in the squad for the games which boss Aidy Boothroyd will use as a warm-up for July's Euro Finals in Germany.

England take on Mexico on June 4 and 6 at the Centro de Alto Rendimiento national training centre, just outside Mexico City.

It is the third time Henry has been called up by the under-19s and follows a breakthrough season which saw him make 44 appearances for the Saddlers, scoring three goals.

Boothroyd has selected a 24-man group for the games as he looks to assess his options for the summer tournament.

England will face Netherlands, Croatia and France in the group stage of the Euro Finals in July, where they will aim to win the Championship as many of this group did at U17 level two years ago.
