George Hemmings withdraws from England U20 squad in unexpected Aston Villa update

Aston Villa midfielder George Hemmings has withdrawn from the England Under-20 squad ahead of their Euro Elite League fixtures in Spain against Italy, France, and Germany. The official squad update confirmed the 19-year-old's departure alongside Jimmy Jay Morgan and Finlay Herrick, though England officials did not provide a reason for the decision.

Hemmings had earned selection under head coach Darren Moore following a breakthrough run of form under Aston Villa manager Unai Emery. The teenager has featured across the Premier League, Carabao Cup, and played 90 minutes during Villa's 3-2 Champions League win over Club Brugge.
