5-1 Young Lions fancied for Euro glory

ENGLAND remain 5-1 second favourites to win this summer's European Under-21 Championship after head coach Gareth Southgate released details of a 27-man squad including Tottenham striker Harry Kane.

The question over Kane's selection had dominated the build-up to the announcement but England will not be anywhere near full strength with eligible players Raheem Sterling, Ross Barkley, Jack Wilshere, Luke Shaw, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain and Phil Jones omitted from the group. Germany are the 2-1 favourites to win the tournament which begins in Czech Republic on June 17.

Uwe Rosler has secured a return to Championship management after agreeing a two-year deal to take over at Leeds.

The German becomes the club's fifth different manager in the space of 12 months but was unperturbed by the fate of his predecessors and described the decision to move to the Yorkshire side as a ‘no-brainer'.

Blackpool have been charged by the FA over the half-time pitch invasion which caused their match at home to Huddersfield to be abandoned on the final weekend of the Championship season.

The Tangerines have until May 28 to respond.

Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas is available for the first match of next season after the FA reduced his ban from three games to one.

England Under-21 squad - goalkeepers: M Bettinelli, J Bond, J Butland; defenders: C Chambers, E Dier, L Garbutt, B Gibson, C Jenkinson, M Keane, L Moore, J Stones, M Targett; midfielders: T Carroll, N Chalobah, W Hughes, J Forster-Caskey, J Lingard, R Loftus-Cheek, A Pritchard, N Redmond, J Ward-Prowse; forwards: B Afobe, P Bamford, S Berahino, H Kane, D Ings, C Woodrow.
