ISAAC Buckley-Ricketts has become the second Oxford United player to be ruled out of next weekend's visit to Portsmouth following an international call-up.

The winger, on loan from Manchester City, has been included in the England Under 20 squad.

Keith Downing's side face Poland in Bielsku-Bialej on March 22, before hosting Portugal at Manchester City’s Academy Stadium five days later.

It means Buckley-Ricketts, who has started eight games since signing for the U's in January, will miss the televised visit to Fratton Park on March 25.

Gino van Kessel is in the same position, following a call-up for Curacao.
