Six Leicester City Women Players have been selected for England Under 19s for this week’s Algarve Tournament in Potugal.

Aimee Everett, Annabel Blanchard, Lia Cataldo, Libby Smith, Paige Bailey-Gayle and Simran Jhamat have all been selected in Emma Coates’ squad for the two-game tournament.

The squad selection comes a week after two Foxes youngsters, Alice Russell and Mackenzie Smith, were selected for an Under 15 Training Camp, the lowest-age bracket for the National team.

Whilst in Portugal, England Under 19s will take on the Netherlands (Wednesday 6 November, 3pm BST) and Norway (Friday 8 November, 3pm BST).

Four of the Foxes have already been involved at England U19 Level, helping the Young Lionesses reach the next Qualifying Round for next year’s European Championships held in Georgia.

Today’s squad announcement is a first call up at Under 19 level for both Lia Cataldo and Paige Bailey-Gayle who have both stepped up following an impressive season at Under 18 level last season.
