“Ovie Ejaria, Trent Alexander, Ben Woodburn, they’ll come back and join this group. Jurgen can use the U23s as he sees fit.
“At the moment he’s using a lot of them with the first team and not so many seniors coming the other way and that’s great for us.”
England U19 international Sheyi Ojo may play for the U23 squad in the new season, the manager has revealed.
