Scarlett named in England's Elite League Squad

Dane Scarlett has been called up to England's Elite League Squad (formerly Under-20) for two matches next month.

Head coach Ben Futcher has selected a 24-player travelling party for fixtures against Sweden and Republic of Ireland with both games to be played in Croatia. 

Dane was in prolific form during the last round of internationals for this Young Lions side who remain unbeaten this calendar year, following up a 24-minute hat-trick in a 5-1 win over Poland with a brace off the bench in a 3-1 victory against Czechia in the European Elite League in March.

Having started the club season on loan at Ipswich Town, the 20-year-old striker returned to north London at the turn of the year and has since featured as a second-half substitute in four Premier League fixtures - against Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Burnley and Sheffield United - and both FA Cup ties in 2024.

The Young Lions take on the Swedes at Stadion ŠRC Sesvete on Friday 7 June (kick-off 3pm UK) before facing Republic of Ireland at the Gradski Stadion on Tuesday 11 June (KO 3pm UK).
