Liam Delap left out of England Under-21 squad for European Championship
The 22-year-old forward, who signed for the Blues for a reported £30m this week, was part of Lee Carsley's provisional squad list but will not take the trip to Slovakia. Carsley's squad was announced on Friday as the Young Lions bid to defend their 2023 crown, with Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton another notable absentee. Delap scored for England Under-21s against France in March, but will miss this summer's tournament to feature under Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca in the inaugural Club World Cup, which starts on June 14 – three days before the Under-21 Euros get under way. Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, who suffered concussion in the FA Cup final, is not included in the England Under-21s squad for the European Championship (Adam Davy/PA). Wharton is another high-profile absentee for Carsley but the Crystal Palace midfielder missed the final games of the season after he suffered concussion following their FA Cup final victory last month. Tino Livramento, Jarell Quansah and Elliot Anderson have been included in the England Under-21 squad after senior boss Thomas Tuchel namechecked the trio last month and urged them to play a 'major role' in the tournament. James McAtee has been selected despite Manchester City being set for Club World Cup action. The midfielder struggled for minutes at the Etihad last season but was reintegrated into the Under-21 group last week having been left out of the initial squad. Rico Lewis, another Man City academy graduate, was not included in the 22-man squad.

Aidy Boothroyd reveals he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease
The former England Under-21s manager Aidy Boothroyd has revealed he was diagnosed with Parkinson's three years ago. Boothroyd also managed Watford and Coventry before succeeding Gareth Southgate as Under-21s manager in 2016, spending five years in the role before leaving in April 2021. In a statement released on the League Managers Association's website on Wednesday, the 54-year-old said: 'Three years ago, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. The news came as a massive shock to me, following what I expected to be my routine LMA Annual Health Assessment. 'It has taken me time to feel ready to share my diagnosis, and I have found it difficult not being completely open with people. Personally, my passion and love for coaching is as strong as ever, I am focusing on keeping physically fit, which is key to slowing down the progression of Parkinson's. I am ready to start the next chapter in my life. I would like to thank the LMA and Parkinson's UK for their support.' In a video released by the LMA, Boothroyd described how difficult the last three years have been. 'Psychologically it's been tough, physically it's been easier,' he says. 'I'm coping well with that because I'm a former footballer who's worked on the grass every day as a coach, as a manager so that's easy getting up and being disciplined to go for a run or do some exercise, because exercise is the key thing in staving off this condition. It's been tough, but now I feel a lot more able to come out and talk about these things.' 'It is a bit like my life's been on hold for all of us really, for my family, for my kids and people have just wanted to be helpful and that's great,' Boothroyd added. 'I don't want to wallow, don't want pity, all I want is to get back on the pitch or whatever it is I end up doing. I won't let this define me, I'll continue, I'll keep fit, I'll do what I've got to do in the gym and hopefully I can get a job with a purpose.' After leaving his England role following the team's exit from the European Under-21 Championship, Boothroyd had a short spell as part of the Northern Ireland coaching staff in May 2022.
