The Blues midfielder was one of four unused substitutes in the 2-1 defeat at Pride Park. Bristol City striker Leroy Lita coming off the bench to score what proved to be just a consolation goal for England in the 88th minute.

John Peacock's young Lions side running out 2-0 winners at Charlton courtesy of goals from Chinedum Onuoha (Man City) and Lloyd Sam (Charlton).
