Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoa made his debut for England at 18 during a Nations League match against the Czech Republic, becoming the third youngest debutant in the nation's history after Wayne Rooney and Jude Bellingham.
Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoa has made history by becoming the third youngest player to debut for England in official tournaments.
The 18-year-old made his entrance in the Nations League victory against the Czech Republic, playing over 20 minutes after coming on shortly after Harry Kane doubled England's lead.
At the time of his debut, Ngumoa was just 18 years and 31 days old. He now ranks behind only Wayne Rooney, who debuted at 17 years and 156 days, and Jude Bellingham, who first stepped onto the pitch for England at 17 years and 269 days.
Liverpool’s hierarchy is reportedly planning to secure a new long-term contract for the talented teenager, as his current deal is set to expire in under two years.
