James Tomkins and Freddie Sears will be in action again for England on Saturday afternoon with the small matter of a place at July's European Under-19 Championship up for grabs.
The West Ham United duo have helped England to two wins from two matches in a four-nation mini-tournament in Belarus, meaning a point from their final game against the host nation in Minsk will be enough to book their place in the Czech Republic. The final round will be played between 14 and 26 July, with the Czechs already sure to be joined by Spain, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Germany and either Italy or France.
The Young Lions' decisive match will take place from 2pm UK time, with group rivals Serbia and Poland meeting simultaneously in Borisov. Both Serbia and Belarus can still overhaul England if Brian Eastick's men are defeated. England's first match was a 2-0 defeat of Poland last Monday, thanks to Freddie Sears' double, before a James Henry goal saw off Serbia by a 1-0 margin on Wednesday. The 19-year-old defender Tomkins has played the full game in both matches while striker Sears, 18, was substituted late on in the second fixture.
Speaking to theFA.com, Tomkins said: "Its great having Freddie over here with me. We all know that he's a quality player and he's shown it for the West Ham first team this year. "Both of us get on really well with the other lads in the squad." Although on international duty, he is already thinking about next season back at the Boleyn. "It's going to be tough as players like [Danny] Gabbidon and [James] Collins will be back from injury and in contention but I'll knuckle down in pre-season and hopefully I can make an impact."
