Five Bristol City Under-21 players, including 16-year-old Elijah Morrison, are set to be involved for the senior squad against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup tonight after they were left out of the Young Robins team to play Watford at the High Performance Centre.
Morrison, Sam Bell, Joe Low, Dylan Kadji and Stefan Bajic were notable by their absence from the teamsheet at Failand. Bristol Live understands that none of the quintet are injured which means the only conclusion that can be drawn is that they’re in line to be included in Nigel Pearson’s matchday squad.
Bell is a familiar first-team name already, having made seven appearances since his debut in December 2020, while the 20-year-old forward has emerged off the bench in two of the last Championship fixtures. Tonight’s third round tie, however, represents an opportunity for him to make a first start since March with Bell having been prolific for the U21s over the last three months.
