Two Newcastle United players have been named in the England under-20s squad for a tournament in South Korea next week.
Freddie Woodman and Adam Armstrong have been selected for the Young Lions' 24-man squad for the Continental Cup, which will feature games against Nigeria, Iran and the host nation.
