Nicky Out Of U21 Scene

Last updated : 07 September 2004 By Mark Heys
Bolton Wanderers defender Nicky Hunt has been dropped by England U21 boss Peter Taylor for the European Championship qualifier in Poland.

The 21-year old makes way for Chelsea's Glen Johnson who returns to the junior set up after a brief flirtation with the senior side last month in the friendly against Ukraine.

Hunt played for the young Three Lions during their 2-0 win over Austria last week and will face a fight on his hands if he is to reclaim the right back slot from the ex-West Ham United man Johnson.
