Young Lions learn fate

James Tomkins, Junior Stanislas and Freddie Sears could be lining up against Uruguay, Ghana and Uzbekistan at the FIFA U20 World Cup in Egypt this September.

The England Under-20 internationals are all in contention for the Young Lions squad, having appeared in the most recent friendly - a 2-0 defeat of fellow finalists Italy last week. FIFA conducted the draw for the 24-nation tournament on Sunday night at the impressive Luxor Temple on the banks of the River Nile.

England, who are managed by Brian Eastick, will begin against Uruguay on Saturday 26 September in Ismailia before taking on Ghana at the same stadium three days later. The group campaign will conclude against Uzbekistan in Suez on Friday 2 October.

West Ham United could also be represented by Savio (Germany) and Balint Bajner (Hungary) with the former on international duty with his country last week. The FIFA U20 World Cup is the world governing body's most prestigious tournament after the FIFA World Cup and has been graced by the likes of Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero in recent editions.
