2 min read

Wolves will be represented in the knockout stages of the under-17s Euros, as Leon Chiwome and England topped Group D with seven points from nine.

Two wins from their first two group fixtures ensured progression for Ryan Garry’s side who will face France in the last eight.

Chiwome has started two of the three games so far for the Young Lions and is now preparing to take to the field in the quarter-final on Saturday.

England had already ensured qualification with wins over Croatia and Netherlands, before closing with a 0-0 draw against Switzerland.

The quarter-final tie versus France will be streamed live on UEFA.tv and also in the UK via the BBC Red Button and iPlayer service.

Meanwhile, Brayden Clarke and Wales have exited the tournament at the group stage round after successive defeats in their first two games.

However, Wolves youngster Clarke played every minute for Cymru, who ended on a high with a 3-0 victory over Ireland in their final group game.

Throughout his time in Hungary, the defender was able to showcase his talent on the big stage and represent his nation in a major competition.
