Aidy Boothroyd’s side are going up against Turkey in a behind-closed-doors Euro qualifier (7.30pm).

They are also due to welcome Andorra to Molineux on November 13, and then Albania on November 17.

The Young Lions are currently top of the qualifying group and are taking on Turkey after drawing 3-3 in Andorra last week.

No Wolves, Albion or Villa players are in the squad but it does feature Stoke goalkeeper Josef Bursik, who previously had loan spells at both Hednesford Town and AFC Telford United.

Everton defender Ben Godfrey, who starred on loan at Shrewsbury in 2017/18, is also in the squad.

The last England U21 game at Molineux came in March 2018 when goals from Demarai Gray and Jake Clarke-Salter helped ensure a 2-1 victory over Romania.

The ground also hosted a 2-1 win against Croatia in the first leg of a Euro qualifying play-off in 2014.
