Nwaneri helps England U21 seal Euros qualification

Ethan Nwaneri remains a key player for England’s Under-21 side, and the Arsenal loanee helped Lee Carsley’s team secure qualification for the 2027 European Championship despite a goalless draw with Slovakia.

England needed only a point at the bet365 Stadium in Stoke, and the 0-0 result was enough to confirm their place at next summer’s tournament in Albania and Serbia. The Young Lions have now qualified with a game to spare, having won seven and drawn two of their nine qualifying matches.

Nwaneri Helps England Qualify

Nwaneri started the match and played 70 minutes before being replaced by Josh King. He came close to scoring and was involved in England’s attacking play, with Max Alleyne striking the post from a low corner delivered by the Arsenal midfielder.

Bulinews says Nwaneri was one of England’s key players as they attempted to break down Slovakia. His clubmate Jobe Bellingham was also involved with the squad but returned to Borussia Dortmund early after his man of the match performance against Kazakhstan.

Nwaneri has been in strong form for both club and country. He scored twice in England’s 4-1 win over Moldova earlier in the campaign and has continued to establish himself as an important figure for the Under-21 side.
