Reports have claimed that Chelsea’s Levi Colwill is now in line to make his first appearance for this country tonight.
According to the Mail Online, the Blue is set to start for England in their friendly against old enemies Australia at Wembley.
Despite being named in squads before, Colwill is yet to play for his country at senior level.
He was one of the stars of the show as they went on to win the U21 European Championships over the summer, at a time when his club future was far from secure.
There were reports that he still needed convincing that playtime was going to be a regular thing at Stamford Bridge.
Ironically, it has turned out that Colwill has started every game for his club so far this season.
Colwill set for England debut
It may have come as a surprise to him that these appearances have come on the left of defence, which has been the norm so far.
Despite him playing the majority of his senior career in the middle, he is slowly beginning to show all his talents again in his new role.
With no recognised left-back selected by Gareth Southgate for the upcoming games against Australia and Italy, it did look as if the opportunity was there for him to play.
Now, it has been claimed that he is in line to start tonight.
Of course, there is the chance that Gareth Southgate stick to his ways and somehow looks for another option to play on the left.
It is likely that Conor Gallagher will be handed some minutes this week too after his personal impressive start to the campaign in midfield.
