Lewis Baker believes that England Under-21s are well placed to go on and "achieve something big" at Under-21 Euro 2017.

Lewis Baker has claimed that England Under-21s are well placed to go on and "achieve something big" at Under-21 Euro 2017.

The Young Lions are into the semi-finals of the tournament for the first time since 2009 after winning Group A in Poland, and will face Germany on Tuesday in Tychy.

Chelsea midfielder Baker told Sky Sports News: "I think the pressure has come off us a little bit now because we got through the group stages and into the semi-finals, but I know the boys want to go as far as we can and we're all looking to achieve something big.

"We've been in big games before like at the Toulon tournament last year when we won that. As a team and a squad we're used to playing together in important matches so we'll just take it in our stride.

"As you start playing more and more games the momentum starts building and the confidence builds and we've started playing like we know we can."

The other semi-final will see Italy take on Spain in Krakow.
