Leeds United defender Charlie Cresswell could be in line to replace Taylor Harwood-Bellis on England Under-21 duty this week after the Southampton centre-back sustained a hamstring injury.
The Saints’ defender has withdrawn from Lee Carsley’s Under-21 camp this month due to a hamstring problem, according to talkSPORT, opening the door for Young Lions understudy Cresswell to feature in his place. Leeds’ highly-rated central defender has found regular minutes hard to come by this season, despite signing a new deal at Elland Road over the summer.
Cresswell will be considered to start alongside Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and breakthrough Liverpool talent Jarell Quansah. The Leeds defender has made just one league start this season and was left out of Daniel Farke’s squad entirely for the trip to Hull City last month. The majority of his time on the pitch has come in the Carabao Cup, a competition which Leeds were eliminated from in the Second Round.
