Leeds United defender Charlie Cresswell starts for England under-21s against France in a friendly at Leicester City's King Power Stadium this evening, but his Elland Road teammate Illan Meslier has to settle for a place on the bench.
It was thought that the Leeds shot-stopper might be able to push for a spot in the senior squad for the first time in his career but national team manager Didier Deschamps opted for Brice Samba, Mike Maignan and Alphonse Areola instead and will be forced to watch on from the bench in the East Midlands, with Lucas Chevalier getting the nod.
Meanwhile, the 20-year-old centre-back, who has been on loan at Championship club Millwall all season, will get his ninth cap for the Young Lions this afternoon, having previously starred in their UEFA European Under-21 Championship Qualifying last season.
