Adam Armstrong and Freddie Woodman have been named in the England under-18s squad which will travel to Moscow for a double-header against Russia in June.
Neil Dewsnip's side, who defeated Switzerland 1-0 and 6-1 in their last outings in March, will face their hosts at Arena Khimkir on Monday, 8th June and Wednesday, 10th June.
Armstrong scored three goals in the two games and skippered the side in the second match, so his inclusion is no surprise.
Woodman, meanwhile, returns to the fold after featuring for England's under-19s in their European Championship Elite Round qualifiers in March.
Frontman Armstrong has been sidelined in recent weeks with a calf complaint, while goalkeeper Woodman is likely to be on the bench for Newcastle's vital Barclays Premier League game against West Ham on Sunday.
The squad is: Freddie Woodman (Newcastle United), Sam Howes (West Ham United), Tosin Adarabioyo (Manchester City), Dael Fry (Middlesbrough), Elliot Moore (Leicester City), Callum Connolly (Everton), Max Lowe (Derby County), Kyle Walker-Peters (Tottenham Hotspur), Liam Walsh (Everton), Luke Amos (Tottenham Hotspur), Louis Reed (Sheffield United), Josh Onomah (Tottenham Hotspur), Sheyi Ojo (Liverpool), Harrison Chapman (Middlesbrough), Patrick Roberts (Fulham), Tammy Abraham (Chelsea), Adam Armstrong (Newcastle United), Karlan Ahearne-Grant (Charlton Athletic).
