Chelsea loanee Levi Colwill is facing up to six weeks out after suffering a muscular injury in training with Brighton, football.london understands.
The 19-year-old has established himself in Roberto de Zerbi's defence since the World Cup break and produced a number of impressive displays. The most recent came against Liverpool on Saturday: Colwill started and starred as the Seagulls secured a 3-0 victory at the Amex.
Colwill's form since the turn of the year has caught the eye of England head coach Gareth Southgate. The Athletic reported this week that serious consideration was being given to calling the Chelsea academy graduate up for the Three Lions' Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine in March.
