And head coach Steve Cooper has named a 22-man squad for the trip as they take another step in their preparations for the Euro Elite Qualifying Round games in March.
The majority of the squad which helped Cooper’s side through the First Qualifying Round in October are involved and there are also some new names.
There are five new faces in the group for this trip, in the shape of Hull City defender Josh Tymon, Manchester United striker George Tanner, Ipswich’s Ben Morris, Brentford’s Joshua Bohui and West Brom’s Rahis Nabi.
Cooper’s squad will meet up at St. George’s Park at the end of January before heading to the Algarve the following Tuesday.
