Town’s U18s will be in action against West Ham at their Little Heath training ground on Saturday morning (KO 11am).

The young Blues will be without Northern Irish trio Josh Carson, Rory McKeown and Caolan Lavery, who are away on international duty, while Norwegian central defender Nicolay Schrøder and Northern Irish midfielder Cormac Burke missed last week’s 0-0 home draw with Chelsea due to injury.

U18s squad: Cody Cropper, Lewis Acott, Joe Whight, Aaron Jones, Joshua Meekings, Jideofo Maduako, Tom Winter, Elliot Scotcher, Jack Simmons, Byron Lawrence, Carel Tiofack, Sam Brandon, Conor O’Donnell, David October, Kyle Hammond.
