Graham Potter has hinted Levi Colwill could be handed his first start for Brighton & Hove Albion as they take on Forest Green Rovers in the Carabao Cup second round this evening. The Seagulls are away to the League One club and could rest some of their senior players, paving the way, theoretically, for Colwill to start.
The 19-year-old central defender moved on a season-long loan to Brighton earlier in the month, with Marc Cucurella going the other way for north of £60million. football.london understands there is no option for the Seagulls to purchase the teenager once his loan deal expires next summer.
This season is crucial for Colwill to gain valuable experience playing at the top level, and a run in the Carabao Cup for Brighton could provide him with multiple opportunities. Speaking ahead of Brighton's trip down to Gloucestershire to take on Forest Green, Potter was asked about the on-loan Chelsea defender.
