Peterborough United players picked for England 'elite' squad
Peterborough United players Ronnie Edwards and Jadel Katongo have been picked in the England Men’s Elite squad for two October internationals.
The central defenders will join up with England after Saturday’s League One home match with Lincoln City. The England Under 20 team has been rebranded to recognise the competition they now take part in.
England take on Romania (away, October 12) and Portugal (home, October 17, stadium:mk) in their first fixtures in the European Elite League.
They won’t miss any Posh matches as the scheduled League One fixture at Wigan Athletic on Saturday, October 14 has been postponed because of the home side’s international call-ups.
Edwards has recently passed 100 senior appearances for Posh and scored his first professional goal in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Carlisle. Katongo is on loan from Manchester City and made his first Football League start in last Saturday’s 2-0 home win over Bristol Rovers.
Katongo scored on his Posh debut in an EFL Trophy win at home to Cambridge United.
