THE WEST Ham trio of James Tomkins, Freddie Sears and Junior Stanislas will get their first taste of international under 20 action tonight when England take on Italy.

The Three Young Lions have all appeared for their country at U19 level, with defender Tomkins and striker Sears both playing a key role in England reaching the UEFA European U19 Championship.

The three Hammers' youngsters will join the likes of Manchester City's Daniel Sturridge and Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs in the squad for tonight's fixture, and they will be hoping to get on and impress coach Noel Blake.
