Might be C4 with the rights but showing paralympics instead. Think I saw the Austria friendly was going to be on England youtube though.
The only time C4 have shown the U21’s was the Euro final. I can’t Imagine they would bother with the U21 again.
Yeah, I don't mind Wharton missing the game if he's struggling, but it's taking the piss a bit for Glasner to have played him AFTER he'd told the press that he wanted to pull Wharton out of the under-21s. Apart from the lack of respect to England, that puts Wharton in a tricky position if he values his relationship with the England set-up.

They've had plenty of time to assess him and announce a withdrawal so strange that hasn't been done yet.
They probably waiting for someone else to arrive. Matthew Cox has posted on his social media his call up but that hasn’t been announced yet either - presumably one of the three goalkeepers has withdrawn as well.
All 23 England players (who haven’t dropped out of the squad) are due out at training this morning. U21 goalkeeper James Beadle (of #SWFC on loan from #BHAFC) will also be training with the seniors— Dom Smith (@MrDomSmith) September 4, 2024 Probably explans why Cox was called up.

So Elliot, Hutchinson, Philogen, Tickel and Wharton have returned to their clubs for further medical assessment.
Shame that Elliot has withdrawn, think there was a chance he might have been promoted to the seniors after the Northern Ireland fixture.

Shame we won't see what Hutchinson looks like in this team yet but Fellows is well deserving of a place too. Looking at it purely through an U21 lens we could do with Madueke keeping up his form and sticking around in the senior team. Would be very useful to keep both Hutchinson and Fellows in and around this team, they would probably both benefit from going to the Euros next summer more than Madueke would.
Agreed, it does feel like more pullouts than normal but might be corrected? Also with coaches like Glasner pulling the tricks he’s done with Wharton isn’t a great look.
The Wharton pull-out is the only one that feels questionable to me. Bellingham hasn't been playing for Madrid and is clearly injured, while Palmer, Watkins and the rest of the U21 pull outs were all assessed by our medical team. Philogene particularly wasn't in Villa's squad at the weekend either. I think maybe you could say the Foden one is questionable too given he's ill and not actually injured. I dunno what's wrong with him but you'd feel like he'd be better by now given he's been ill for a week. I don't know if he was assessed by England or not either.
All change for this squad then. New manager, big names like Madueke, Livramento, Philogene and Elliot missing. It will be interesting to see how they look.
