Other aspects of his game look promising to me. I think we will see him on the fringes of the first team squad within a few years.

Whitworths always looked a bit small to be, how tall is he?

6ft but is also 17 so a few years of growth yet.

Thanks.

He’s already as tall as Casillas.

Is he married to a wife like Sara Carbanero though?

[El Aguila]

Casillas isn’t, any longer.

Taller, not longer. Oh, and I think this point has already been made

I honestly think Sara was punching in that relationship, looks wise.

Joe’s 5’11” so only as tall as World Cup winner Fabian Barthez at the moment

Most boys stop growing at about 16 but some grow until their 18.

I stopped at 15, for sure. Sounds like some people start and end their puberty a bit earlier (as girls generally do) but others are a bit later.

It really depends on Joe's own physical development but I doubt he has "a few years of growth yet."

Hopefully he's not injured.

Palace official site says he was subbed on after 64 mins.

It always amazes me how difficult it is to find information from youth international games online.

Yeah you would think given this might be the pinnacle that some of these young boys get too it would be nice to have a stream so the families can watch.

Wells-Morrison ran up and down the left side in second half, I was surprised he wasn't subbed. Overall I thought are boys did ok. Vic was constantly being shouted at by the coaches and looked a little timid with the ball, Rodney looked solid and Whitworth played more like a sweeper than a goalkeeper.

He's not going to get taller if he's 17.
