Echo: Duo head for Estonia

Liverpool duo Jerome Sinclair and Seyi Ojo have linked up with England U17s ahead of the UEFA European U17 Championship first qualifying round in Estonia.

John Peacock's squad have been training at St George's Park this week to prepare for their opening game against the hosts in Tallinn on Sunday.

They then face Wales on Tuesday before completing their group matches against Northern Ireland next Friday.

Their mission is to put England on course for next May's finals in Slovakia.

Liverpool winger Ojo takes the step up from the England U16s squad along with Newcastle keeper Freddie Woodman and Aston Villa midfielder Dan Crowley.

Sinclair has enjoyed a fine start to the campaign with the Reds.

The 16-year-old striker became the youngest first team player in the club's history when he came off the bench at West Brom in the League Cup last month.

Liverpool youngster Jordon Ibe has been called up by England for the first time.

The 16-year-old starlet, who is part of the Reds' under-21s development set-up, has been named in the England U18s squad for their game against Italy at Mansfield Town next Wednesday (7.30pm).

The U18s age group is a non-competitive year at international level but friendly matches are held to bridge the gap between the U17s and U19s.
