Everton Pair Ready For England Euros Tilt

Tom Davies and Ben Godfrey will be part of an England Under-21 squad aiming to end a 37-year wait for European Championship success.

The Everton pair are in a squad which will travel to Slovenia this month for the first leg of the competition, which was originally scheduled for June last year.

England, who were undefeated in a dominant qualifying campaign, are in a group with Portugal, Croatia and Switzerland.

The top two finishers will reach the tournament's final stages, a straight knockout set for Hungary and Slovenia between 31 May and 6 June.

England, who are among 16 teams aiming to progress from four groups, start their finals campaign against Switzerland on 25 March.

Manager Aidy Boothroyd's team face Portugal three days later, on 28 March, and finish on 31 March when they meet Croatia.

Everton Academy graduate midfielder Davies, 22, has 21 England Under-21 caps following a debut in September 2017.

Godfrey, who joined Everton from Norwich City back in October, made his Under-21 international debut in September 2019.

The defender, 23, captained Boothroyd's side on his first start in the same month and has made seven appearances.

England last won the European Under-21 Championship when they beat Spain in a two-legged final in 1984.
