| Centre-half Kenneth and midfielder Cameron were among the stars last week as wins over Belarus and Bulgaria, as well as a draw with France, saw the young internationals qualify for the Euro finals for the first time in 20 years.
The problem is the tournament takes place in the Polish city of Poznan, starting on July 18 — right at the peak of the Tangerines’ pre-season build-up.
United will be just back from their training camp in Denmark and that’s a trip boss Craig Brewster would like both Cameron and Kenneth to be on.
“It’s great what the Under-19s have achieved and I would love for them to play in Poland, but, first and foremost, they are Dundee United players and the club has to come first,” he said.
“It’s going to be a case of seeing how the squad is shaping up and taking things from there, but Kenneth has been around the first team since before I arrived and Cameron did very well when he came in at the end of the season.”
With the championships classed as a competitive event by FIFA, technically Scotland have first call on the pair.
United’s U/14 and U/16 squads are off to France next weekend to participate in the Festival d’Armor in Brittany (June 3-5). |
