Roberto Mancini has declared that he will not stop Micah Richards from linking up with the England Under 21s this summer.\n<\/p>\n

Stuart Pearce is keen to have all his best players available for the European Championship in Denmark, believing that it would be great experience for future stars of the senior team to try and win a major tournament at Under 21 level.<\/p>\n

However, the matter has reopened a club versus country debate as some Premier League managers are concerned about the risk of burnout.<\/p>\n

Arsene Wenger has stated that playing for the Under 21s would be a step backwards for Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, who has just started to establish himself in Fabio Capello’s main side.<\/p>\n

Manchester City manager Mancini has no such concerns, though, and has given defender Richards his blessing to go and represent the Young Lions.<\/p>\n

“For him it is very important to play for his national team,” said Mancini.<\/p>\n

“I think that Micah wants to go and I’m happy for him to go.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
