Town forward Armando Dobra looks set to add to his Albania U21 caps when his side take on England in a European Championships qualifier at Chesterfield this evening.
The 21-year-old, who has previously won 10 U21s caps, scoring once, recently spent time training with the senior Albania squad having caught the eye of manager Edoardo Reja.
The forward spent a frustrating spell on loan at Colchester during 2021/22. He is contracted to the Blues to the summer of 2023 with the club having an option for a further season.
Albania’s youngsters, who are second bottom of the group and out of qualification contention, are in action again on Monday when they host Kosovo in Elbasan.
Meanwhile, young keeper Lewis Ridd could win his sixth Wales U18s cap when his side take on hosts Croatia in a friendly tournament this evening.
The 17-year-old and his team-mates subsequently take on England on Friday and Austria next Monday.
Ridd, who spent time on loan at AFC Sudbury and Bury Town in 2021/22, is among the second-year scholars to have been offered professional terms by the Blues.
