Nacer Barazite and Vincent van den Berg have been named in the Dutch u-19 squad for the friendly with the Czech Republic on 26th March. Barazite is the Reserves’ top scorer so far this season, whilst Vincent is currently on loan to Go Ahead Eagles. Barazite’s inclusion means that he will miss the reserve game with Chelsea next Tuesday.

Kieran Gibbs, England under-19s
25th March- England v Russia
Carlos Vela- Mexico
26th March- Mexico v Ghana

What sort of side do you expect we will put out against Chelsea then? I can’t see us playing too many players from the first team squad so it could be a chance for some of the u16s to make a name for themselves.

i don’t think we need to use u-16s.
For example:
——————-Mannone————————-
-Gilbert——Nordtveit———–Rodgers——–Steer
-Ogogo——Dunne————-Eastmond——-Thomas
—————-Sunu————Fonte
subs: Szczesny, G.Hoyte, Murphy, Ayling, Bartley
That is still a decent side.

It is good to see that we have such a wealth of young talent that even when a good number of our young players are representing their respective age groups at international level, a few out on loan and some injured or ill we can still put out a decent side.

Any idea of why Bartley is playing no part?
