An England B side will face Albania at Burnley’s Turf Moor ground on May 25, the FA has confirmed. The B team was last in action for the pre-World Cup game against Belarus last May. Before that there had been no B matches since 1998.
The B-team is seen as an opportunity for fringe players to become accustomed to the glare of Steve McClaren’s newly whitened teeth before moving on to the senior squad. Any candidates for an outing?
