Fairclough’s Three Lions Ready To Roar At Salford City

With Gareth Southgate’s senior squad starting their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign on Friday night.

But hoping to start a big few days well are England C who tonight look to show what they can do.

National League players again dominated the latest squad after Paul Fairclough announced the 16 to face Wales.

The Non-League Three Lions play their Welsh counterparts at Salford City’s Peninsula Stadium this evening and a big crowd is expected.

“It’s an important match for our progress,” said the former Barnet boss. “Wales are a strong side so this will be the perfect test.”

Fairclough has made many changes from the last squad who faced Estonia at Leyton Orient last year.

Only Ryan Croasdale, Dan Jones, Laurence Maguire, and James Hardy remain.

Admission stands at £10 for adults, £5 for under 16s and over 60s, while children under five go free.

Goalkeepers: Ryan Huddart (Boreham Wood), Ben Killip (Braintree Town)

Defenders: Marvin Ekpiteta (Leyton Orient), Daniel Jones (Barrow), Laurence Maguire (Chesterfield), Jon Mellish (Gateshead), Luke Trotman (Darlington)
