18-Year-Old African-Born Chelsea Whizkid Invited To Train With England Pre-Nigeria Friendly
Published: May 28, 2018Talented Sierra Leonean-born central defender Trevoh Chalobah,18, has been invited by England manager Gareth Southgate to train with the senior team ahead of their friendly against the Super Eagles on Saturday, June 2.
The English Football Association has tweeted that the Chelsea starlet is joining the group for training today and tomorrow at St George's Park.
His sibling, Watford's Nathaniel Chalobah, was called up to train with the Three lions to aid their preparations ahead of the friendly with Nigeria and their trip to Russia for the World Cup.
The younger Chalobah is an England U19 international and previously represented their U16 and U17 teams.
Last season, he was included in Chelsea's match day squad against Manchester City (Premier League), Hull City and Manchester United (FA Cup) but was an unused substitute in the three games.
Tottenham Hotspur star of Nigerian descent Dele Alli will fly with the England squad to Russia and is in line to face the Super Eagles, but Chelsea duo Ross Barkley and Tammy Abraham are not in contention after they were omitted from the team.
