Reports have claimed that Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill is now in line to make his debut for England this weekend.

According to the Evening Standard, the 20-year-old could well face either Ukraine or Scotland in the coming days.

It was undoubtedly a proud moment for Colwill to be called up to the senior squad this time around.

The announcement is only a testament to the huge leaps he has taken in his career at the early stages of being at the top.

He has been an ever-present starter for the Blues this season, featuring in a dynamic role which sees him play essentially both centre-back and left-back.

Colwill was called up to train with the senior squad last time the season broke for internationals. However, Gareth Southgate did not feature him.

There were fears that his time would not be coming again this time around, as rumours of an injury broke just before he joined up with the squad.

However, a scan came back all clear and he is able to go and represent his country over the next seven days.

Chelsea supporters will be impressed by what they have seen so far from the youngster, as he has adapted to life at a top club pretty seamlessly.

However, this has not always coincided with winning performances for the squad.

It does feel as if the international break came at the perfect time for Mauricio Pochettino to tweak his system before the Premier League continues.
