England's U21s have been dazzling at the Euros in Georgia this summer, and are currently preparing to take on Israel in the semi-finals of the prestigious youth tournament. 

So far, the youngsters have won every game at the competition, including all four group games and the quarter-finals, without conceding a single goal along the way. Germany and Portugal have been vanquished in the knockout rounds and Israel, Wednesday's opponents, were already swept aside in the group stages. It has been an excellent summer for the tyros until this stage.

But who are the young Lions playing under former Everton and Ireland midfielder Lee Carsley? And which clubs do they represent on a domestic level?

FourFourTwo brings you the crucial information on England's young stars.
