Manager Stuart Pearce will trim this squad down to 23 by June 1, in the build up to the tournament, which features initial games against Spain (June 12), Ukraine (June 15) and Czech Republic (June 19).

Wickham, who missed Town’s last home game against Preston due to a rib injury, has been capped three times by the Under-21s.
