Nketiah scored eight goals in eight games for England Under-19s and will be looking for gametime in the group-stage matches against China, Mexico and Qatar.

Holders England kick off the tournament on May 26 against China, before facing Mexico three days later. The Young Lions will wrap up the group stage with a June 1 clash against Qatar.
