Matt Targett, Marcus Bettinelli to make England Under-21 debuts

Targett, Bettinelli to make England U21 debuts

England Under-21 boss Gareth Southgate has revealed that he is looking forward to seeing how Matt Targett and Marcus Bettinelli perform on their debut for the side.

Southgate and his players are in Prague to face Czech Republic ahead of the European Championship in June, and the former England international is keen to give himself options ahead of naming his squad in the summer.

The 44-year-old told the Football Association's official website: "We'll have a couple of players making their debuts, so we're looking forward to seeing how they go.

"With Jack Robinson now out for the summer and Luke Shaw out injured, it's a chance for Matty Targett and to see how he copes with that, and Marcus hasn't had a game for us yet either so it's an opportunity."

Target has made 12 first-team appearances for Southampton this season, while goalkeeper Bettinelli has featured 38 times for Fulham.
