they've got league games up until then too. Considering the Tournament starts on the 20th in Korea, you'd presume they're meeting up at least a week before, it really wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't allowed to go. Add in Lookman and Calvert-Lewin, who i'm sceptical Koeman would release and the squad is decimated.
Yeah I was thinking Celtic wouldn't be that cruel considering they have already won there league at a canter so maybe they will want to give there own youth a chance for the rest of the season rather than invest time in a player that will be back at City in the Summer. Hopefully City will have some say in this too and get him on the plane to Korea.
For what it's worth, the Daily Mail reported that Davies won't play for any England youth teams this summer. The Guardian quoted Koeman saying that he didn't think Davies was in the under-20 squad too, so it looks like it's under-21s or nothing, and most probably nothing.
It would lead us to have to call up a fair number of players who haven't played before. Which i'd class as decimating the squad. Especially if we lost 3 players who have consistently started for us in our attack + Ejaria who is injured.

#U19EURO finals drawGroup AGeorgia (hosts)Czech RepublicSwedenPortugalGroup BGermanyEnglandBulgariaNetherlands— UEFA.com (@UEFAcom) April 13, 2017 Tough group, but gotta beat good teams to win it anyway, might as well start early.
And even tougher without Davies and TAA and could get harder with more withdrawals which I suspect will happen.
But England have to stop worrying about missing players if we have not got replacements at U19 level then there is still something seriously wrong with The DNA, the answer is we do , two players will be missed but do you think Germany think like this.. Basically they don't , they have depth and confidence. I am sure we will see what happens however , are we saying the clubs now think this will not help their development? are they finished articles ? only in England we get such backward thinking .. (Feel sorry for England setup on this one )Both lads would benefit from going and actually improve and learn.. What is there not to learn playing Germany and Holland .. Or is it a tour to the Middle East for those lads..
In case anyone isn't following, Dasilva is starting his fourth consecutive game for Charton today. It may have taken him three months to get into the team, but perhaps this loan won't be a complete write-off after all.
Chelsea already have the perfect person to fill the John Terry role in their youth ranks 🔒: https://t.co/eesgrYcQSK | @stighefootball pic.twitter.com/WSBeTnFO4n— B/R Football (@brfootball) April 18, 2017
How Jacob Maddox isn't in this group is beyond me. Best player on the park in the FAYCF tonight, always turns up, and it's not like the central midfield options in this squad are plentiful.
no they don't that is the opinion of fans not coaches ..unless Germany have asked their coaches to comment in forums h..lol got to love the mentality key players will be missed but any decent team will replace quality with quality that is why they win tournaments plus the mentality is different on the continent .. I think we will do well in the tournent in playing a tough group plenty of lads can come in and do well reading the fans forums of course..lol
You mean Andreas Christiansen .. As a ball playing centre back like JT do Chelsea play thier youth in the first team
When the headline claim is "England's finest young centre back" I'm pretty sure they don't mean Andreas Christiansen.
plus a lot of it isn't us worrying, it's just us being annoyed we won't get to watch some players we really like.
Gomez for me, but I haven't seen him play since the injury so I don't know if he's lost anything. Really hope not. By the way, is Oxford coming back from another minor injury or was he just dropped after the 7–1 defeat to Norwich? He's out of the Reading team again. Didn't even make the squad against Villa.
back with west ham did not work out.. you simply have to look long term with thier development they really don't need hype when learning.. as any mistake in defence is always picked upon.. they need more time.. to develop m keane is a good example even though italy do defenders best would not like to put pressure on a young 19 year old labelling them the best england have each player development and pathway is very different....
