Duo In Young Lions Squad

Hope and Lundstram in England Under-18 squad for friendly.

Everton youngsters Hallam Hope and John Lundstram are in the England Under-18 squad for the friendly against Poland next month.

The Young Lions will play their first game on home soil this season as Crewe Alexandra's Gresty Road welcomes the two teams on Wednesday 7 March.

Both Everton Academy men made their debuts for the Under-18s in the last outing against Slovakia in November, with Hope grabbing England's strike in a 1-1 draw.

Hope and Lundstram played consistently for the Under-17s, being involved heavily in their route to the quarter-finals of the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
