GEORGE McEachran could be in line for a place at the UEFA European Under 17 Championship in Croatia next year after helping England through their qualifying round.

He follows in the footsteps of older brother Josh, currently at Brentford, who represented England in the 2010 European Under 17 Championship, while his other brother Zac plays for Banbury United.

The 16-year-old midfielder, from Kirtlington, is currently in his first year as a scholar at Chelsea.

McEachran was involved as the Young Lions opened their campaign with a 2-0 victory over Azerbaijan on Tuesday and again in yesterday’s 3-0 success against hosts Romania.

England finish their qualifying round campaign on Sunday against Austria.
