Where our academy internationals are in action

Nwaneri call up

Plenty of our academy players are set to feature for their national youth teams during the March international break.

At under-21s level, Henry Jeffcott (Northern Ireland), Brooke Norton-Cuffy (England) and Mika Biereth (provisional for Denmark) could feature in UEFA Euro U21 qualifiers.

Northern Ireland are currently bottom of Group F while England are second with five games played. As for Denmark, they’re top of Group I with eight points.

Reuell Walters is in the England Men's Elite League squad for games against Poland and Czech Republic. The Young Lions are second from bottom in the league ahead of the international break with three points from four games.

There’s also a number of UEFA Euro U17 qualifiers taking place with three Gooners potentially involved.

New signing Brayden Clarke (Wales) will be hoping to help his country get off to a good start in Group B, and the same goes for Ethan Nwaneri (England) in Group A and Chido Obi-Martin (Denmark) in Group F.

For Wales under-16s, Alex Marciniak has been called up to take part in their Montaigu Tournament against Czech Republic, Japan and Mexico.

Finally, there have also been call-ups for Zane Monlouis and Khayon Edwards (Jamaica under-23s) and Will Sweet (Wales under-19s) for their respective training camps.
