Arsenal wonderkid Chido Obi-Martin will feature in the knockout stages of the U17 European Championships after Denmark advanced from their group.

Chido-Martin will next be in action when Denmark tackle Czechia on Wednesday in the quarter-finals.

Ethan Nwaneri's England will be hoping to join them, although their hopes are in the balance after a 4-1 loss to Portugal on Friday.

Nwaneri played the whole 90 minutes, and is set to feature against in Monday's crucial game.

A win in the final group game against already-eliminated Spain would guarantee progression, while a draw will be enough as long as France fail to beat Portugal.

However Braydon Clarke's Wales have exited the competition.

The Danes were beaten 4-0 by Austria in their final group game and were forced to settle for second place in the table, with Chido playing 85 minutes of the encounter in Cyprus.

Clarke's Wales managed to do them a huge favour though, as they held Croatia to a 1-1 draw in the other match in the group, coming from behind to grab a point and deny their opponents to snatch second spot from Denmark.

Braydon though wasn't involved in the final group game as he was suspended courtesy of bookings in both previous matches.
