England U21s will begin their final preparations for Euro 2017 with a pre-tournament training camp.

The Young Lions will meet up next week at St George's Park, well in advance of their first game in the tournament which comes against Sweden on June 16.

England also face tournaments hosts Poland and Slovakia in Group A and play all three games in the city of Kielce.

Manager Aidy Boothroyd will have the chance to assess the fitness of the squad including Chelsea's Tammy Abraham, who scored 26 goals on loan at Bristol City this season.

Abraham hopes his form will get him selected in the final squad, and he said: "I have confidence going into it but it's never going to be easy.
