Carney Chukwuemeka set to join up with England youth team at last

Carney Chukwuemeka has just posted a Tweet indicating that he will join up with England’s U20 squad for the World Cup in Argentina

Chelsea blocked the midfielder from joining up for the group stage, which has already taken place, as he needed to be around the first team squad, but now the season is over, he can go be with the team with whom he has been a regular and a key player.

There was plenty of grumbling about the club’s demands to make him stay put in these last weeks, mainly because he’s largely already had a wasted season sitting on the bench when he could habve been on loan.

In the end he did get some decent minutes, including a start against Manchester United, which he will have enjoyed. Now he can head off to the Southern Hemisphere in time for England’s round of 16 match against Italy.

It will be a long trip if he doesn’t start and then the Three Lions are knocked out… let’s hope they can navigate past Cesare Casadei’s impressive Italians into the quarter finals.
