Academy midfielder Idris El Mizouni has returned to the Blues and won’t feature for Tunisia’s Olympic side in their friendly against Egypt this afternoon.

The 18-year-old won his second U23s cap and scored his first international goal in Thursday’s first friendly but has travelled back to the UK with the today’s second game having been announced at short notice after Algeria belatedly pulled out of game with Egypt scheduled for tomorrow.

El Mizouni, who we understand has been offered a professional contract after making an impressive start to the season, is set to be involved for the Blues' U23s in Monday’s game against Crystal Palace at Playford Road (KO 1pm).

Blue_badge added 18:02 - Nov 18 Brought back for PL to look at again in the U23's - makes me wonder if there's a first team role in mind for him over the next few months. Will he be on the bench on Friday?
