Leeds United's Academy continues its trend of supplying talent to England's Young Lions, as four players have been called up for the upcoming international window.

Charlie Cresswell retains his place in Lee Carsley's U21s squad, having featured in their last two games against Czech Republic and Georgia.

Making his Premier League debut in September against West Ham, the defender has gone on to make four Premier League appearances for Leeds.

England U21s face two Euro qualifiers this month, taking on Andorra at Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium (Friday 25 March, 7.45pm), before heading to the Elbasan Arena to face Albania (Tuesday 29 March, 7.45pm).

Andy Edwards has named Lewis Bate and Sam Greenwood in his England U20s squad, as they face a trip to Poland (Friday 25 March, Bielsko-Biala), before welcoming Germany to Colchester's JobServe Community Stadium on Tuesday 29 March (7:30pm).

Bate and Greenwood both made their Premier League debuts this season, against West Ham and Arsenal respectively, and have been ever present for the club's U23s. Greenwood has featured 16 times in the PL2, scoring 8, whilst Bate has made 16 appearances.

After impressing for Leeds United's U23s this season, and making the first team bench, Archie Gray has been rewarded with a place in England's U17s squad.

Tom Curtis has named his 21-man squad as the England U17s look to book their place in this summer’s U17 EURO Finals in Israel, taking on France (Saturday 26 March, 3pm) and Luxembourg (Tuesday 29 March, 5pm) this month.

Gray has made 10 appearances for Leeds' U23s this season, most recently scoring in their 3-0 win over Manchester United at Elland Road.
