10 Youngest Players Called Up For World Cup 2018

10. Albert Guðmundsson (20) - Iceland

Only 25 players aged 20 and under have been called up for their nation's World Cup squads, and that number will decrease as some of the larger preliminary squads have to get narrowed down and certain younger players will pay the price, but Albert Guðmundsson is one player who already has his spot at the finals locked down.

Guðmundsson is a speedy young winger who spent last season playing with PSV's reserve side, scoring 9 goals in 15 games, and earning some time with the senior side too, making 8 appearances in the Dutch first division. He also earned his first caps for Iceland over the last year and actually scored a hat-trick in a friendly game with Singapore.

The level of competition at the World Cup will be much higher than anything Guðmundsson has experienced before, but Iceland proved at Euro 2016 that they weren't afraid of anyone, and if he can take that same mentality into the tournament, he could be an exciting player to watch.
