But England were barely keeping their heads above water, and Sweden soon doubled their lead.

Fulham’s director of football, Tony Khan, said: “Josh is an exciting young player. He has been with Fulham for many years and has consistently impressed and has developed well, with Marco giving him his senior debut in the Carabao Cup win over Birmingham City in August 2024, followed in December by his Premier League debut when he came on against Brighton at the Cottage, and this summer he’s also performed well for England’s under-19s at the Euros.
