The following players were called up for the matches against Spain and England on 23 and 27 March 2017.
Caps and goals updated as of 6 September 2016 after the match against Romania.
Because of the age restriction, a player can't be in the team for very long and the most promising young players spend little time with the under-21 team before making their senior national team debut.
