As reported by the Metro, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is scheduled to have discussions with Levi Colwill before the team embarks on their pre-season tour of the United States. The Talls will take place as soon as he joins his teammates back.
Colwill, alongside Noni Madueke, is expected to join the rest of the Chelsea squad for their trip to the US next week. Both players played crucial roles in England’s victory at the European Under-21 Championship in Georgia, securing a tense 1-0 win over Spain.
The highly regarded centre-back made a crucial contribution to England’s success at the European Under-21 Championship.
