Sonny Perkins Called Up By England Men's U20

Oxford United forward Sonny Perkins has been selected for an England men’s under-20s training camp at St. George’s Park as they prepare to start the new Euro U20 Elite League in October.

Joe Edwards acting as interim Head Coach until the end of the year, has called upon a 24-strong group to assemble at St. George’s Park for five days of work on the training pitch.

They will kick-off their games next month with a trip to play Romania in Bucharest on 12 October before they  take on Portugal at home with the venue and date for that game still to be confirmed.

Sonny, on loan from Leeds United, becomes the fifth Oxford player selected for international duty next weekend, with the scheduled Sky Bet League 1 game at Lincoln City postponed as a result.
