Town duo earn England U21 call-ups alongside ex-Blues loanee

Ipswich Town duo Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson have been called up to the latest England U21s squad ahead of their friendly fixtures this month.

The Young Lions start with a trip to Cadiz to face Spain at La Linea de la Concepción on Friday 15th November, before travelling to the Netherlands, where they play at the Yanmar Stadium in Almere three days later.

Delap will look to add to his eight U21 caps, having impressed interim head coach Ben Futcher after sealing qualification for next summer’s UEFA EURO U21 Finals in Slovakia.

Hutchinson made his debut for the U21's against Ukraine last month, before he bagged a goal and two assists on his second cap as the young Lions' thrashed Azerbaijan 7-0 in their final European Championship qualifier

They are joined in the 24-man squad by former Town loanee Dane Scarlett, who is on loan at Championship side Oxford United from Spurs.

He has scored three goals in 11 games for the U's so far, while he has previously won two caps for the U21s, netting one goal.
