Man City Treble winner left out of England U21s squad for Euro 2023 but four of his little-known team-mates make the cut
MANCHESTER CITY Treble winner Rico Lewis has been left out of England’s Under-21 squad for Euro 2023.
The Young Lions head to Romania and Georgia for the tournament that begins on June 21.
But City youngster Rico Lewis was not chosen by manager Lee Carsley.
The versatile 18-year-old has been capped just once by the England Under-21s.
But many expected him to be in the squad for the Euros after impressing in the Treble-winning Man City team.
Lewis played 23 times for the club in his breakthrough season, making 16 starts.
His Man City team-mates Cole Palmer, Tommy Doyle, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and James Trafford have all made England’s 23-man squad.
Palmer has featured 38 times under Pep Guardiola.
Meanwhile, the other trio all spent the season out on loan, with Doyle at Sheffield United, Harwood-Bellis at Burnley and Trafford was between the sticks at Bolton.
England will play Czech Republic, Israel and Germany in the group stages of the tournament.
