Gareth Southgate’s charges continue their preparations for next summer’s Euro Championship next June with a game against fellow finalists Portugal on Thursday, November 23rd (kick-off 7-45 p.m.).

The friendly will provide familiar surroundings for three regulars in Southgate’s squad - Danny Ings, Nathaniel Chalobah and Michael Keane.

Chief executive Lee Hoos said: “We would like to thank The FA for considering Burnley when seeking a host for the England Under 21s’ game. It’s a great honour to host this game and wonderful news for the town and the club.”

Turf Moor has staged a number of England matches at various levels over the years, most recently in 2007 when England B beat Albania by 3-1 thanks to a goal from Alan Smith and a Stewart Downing brace.
